The lab is where I'm allowed to be wrong, slow, weird, or amateur. Some of these will become work. Some won't. You're seeing them mid-thought.
Can a phone become a room? No app, no headset.
WHAT'S BEING BUILTPsychoacoustic speaker filtering makes sound appear larger than its source. Tilt the phone and a 360° sonic scene rotates around you. Eight Chinese mood states. Tang dynasty poetry. Web Audio API + DeviceOrientation — no install required.
Browser-native audio privacy toolkit. Nothing leaves your machine.
WHAT IT DOESStrips metadata, detects AI origin markers, embeds psychoacoustic watermarks and designs NFC payloads — all client-side, built in React/TypeScript. Part of Artful Technologies Ltd.
A tree watches. A little girl grows. Time moves differently for both.
