About Me

@yoshikischmitz

Hi, I'm Yoshiki. I want us to reclaim the liberatory potential of computers. To that end, I am creating research prototypes and concepts of dynamic digital environments for authoring, exploring, communicating, and programming(and hopefully, break down the distinctions between all of these).

Frontiers

These are the questions I'm most excited about, you can click on them to see the beginnings of an answer:

I also have a list of random ideas you can check out:

Fun!

Art and toys I made that make me happy.

Chunky 3D painting.

A digital fidget toy.

Turtle drawing in a vector editor.

Generative art.

From my sketchbook.

Apps

I'm now more interested in environments rather than apps, but I've made my share of them in the past.

Hyper Room, a space for remote collaboration in VR.

A VR space for communicating with yourself and others.

Data dashboard for a city.

Pomodoro + notes.

Twitter Threads

I'm still filling this site out. In the meantime most of my written thoughts are on Twitter(which I really enjoy as a medium). I have some ongoing threads I use to chronicle my thoughts and learnings on some topics.

These are all facets of something larger I'm trying to see more clearly.

Expanding UI OS

Dango

Why do we have so many different kinds of digital documents?

What if we could directly

Concept for a hybrid file browser/window manager.

A comic about data access, end-user programming, and the object oriented desktop metaphor.

These are things I'd like to exist but maybe am not going to work on immediately.

What got me into organizing scattered data.
