Hygge

Ambiance on demand

We're bringing hygge into everyone's home, both to create an immersive ambiance and to give people the option to visualize and buy the fixtures pulled from real store catalogs.

Successes: Having fun the entire time, hugging it out at the end and meeting everybody at the hack! So much fun! We got lighting to work in the real space, a valiant attempt at multi-user, and 3 of the designers on the team worked in Unity and C# and pushed branches back to main in GitHub, llm requests were coo, we had some really really sweet branding/design, video-making was awesome. Made a 3D model pipeline with a ton of heavy lifting using ai for mesh and texture gen, procedurally (and sometimes hand-) optimizing them for Quest.

Learnings: We generated AI video commercials that were inspiringly cohesive, the tech is becoming really useful. We learned a lot about Meta Quest UI as well. Sid learned a valuable lesson in decision-making, there was a point where I knew it would be risky to do drop-in multiplayer and more complicated design logic with fixture recommendations. I should've picked a lane but crashed in the middle of both at like 3am Sunday. But like who is Icarus without the sun, Sisyphus without his rock... I'll make better decisions on the next one. This has me fired up to do another hack soon!

What's next for Hygge you ask? You'll see!
