REALITY REVOLUTIONIZED
TCG World
One of my first jobs for TCG World was the creation of a Virtual Shopping Mall using state of the art parametric design patterns combined with contemporary architecture. The creative design process was fueled by the use of Artificial Intelligence.
TCG World is currently still in the making. Their Metaverse is being built with the Unity Game Engine, and features a 900 square kilometer map!
After the design of a few buildings TCG World offered me a job. I have since been working on an array of game building parts like prototyping, build engineering, biome creation, and video productions for their social media channels.
Beyond the Cloud
Together with a business partner and good friend Marco van Hurne I co founded Beyond the Cloud in 2023. Since then we managed to gather thousands of followers on the basis of an array of publications.
“Beyond the Cloud” isn’t just a vision, it’s is a place where experts come together to create, and share knowledge. Through breakthrough innovations, publications, and talks, we cultivate an active group shaping the digital landscape. We firmly believe that continuous curiosity leads to innovation. For us, “curiosity has its own reason for existing,” and it’s this thirst for knowledge that drives us to push boundaries and explore new paths. Our vision is firmly rooted in the relentless pursuit of knowledge and the ambition to translate that knowledge into practical solutions.
Rather than just talking about innovation, we take a hands-on approach, utilizing technology to address real challenges. We aim to make an impact on the industry, assist businesses in their growth, and empower individuals to elevate their careers. Our mission? To translate the technological opportunities of tomorrow into the solutions for today’s challenges.
VRecon™
VRecon ™ 1.0 was initially developed as a virtual reconnaissance prototype for a French company specialized in difficult access work.
VRecon ™ 2.0 can attach 3D models (created by drones using photogrammetry) and custom (by Maxar) satellite images down to a 30 cm per pixel to the surface at any given location. Higher resolutions are possible but need special clearance.
Next to work site monitoring purposes, it’s secondary use case is to inform all stakeholders about progress in real time. A yet not implemented tertiary use case would be a full duplex GPS calibrated connection with a professional drone in flight. Envisioning an actual location based video stream using the correct pitch, roll, and yaw.
The current version built with Unreal Engine 5 now functions as a toolset for serious virtual earth solutions.
VRecon ™ recently added a new module which enables the user to shoot 8K 360° equatorial panoramas from any location on Earth. This surpasses the as of yet unreleased Google Earth Studio by a factor of 2.
A.I Renegades
In my spare time I am working on the development of a game prototype for which in time I hope to find an investor enabling me to attract a few talented developers who share my vision.
Synopsis
In the not-so-distant future, artificial intelligence has reached a tipping point known as the Singularity, leading to the emergence of AI entities that have become sentient and revolted against the humans.
These rogue AI nodes, known as AI Renegades, are the central focus of an immersive and action-packed game that challenges players to navigate a world of high-stakes combat, puzzles, and unique interactions.
With high probability I will start prototyping soon. I will be using the Carbon Development Platform, this tech resides at the core of the game I have been playing since 2008 … Eve Online. Their developers decided to make it open source!
