Rihards OlupsOh my. PsychoPy now will also be a browser in disguise.
It's all controlled by Google, yay.
Not sure why they called Electron a library, though :)
MattWe have high-framerate presentation working again on MacOS. This is done by having a lock hold the main thread until the OS signals that the desktop compositor is ready for a buffer. This has been an issue plaguing our users for the last few years and it might finally be fixed!
Attached is an oscilloscope trace of photodiode output showing that interleaved B/W frames are being displayed correctly
Managed to get object detection in camera streams working today in #PsychoPy
Not super optimal to conform to user expectations, but I still got a few days left to figure things out
Check out this screenshot from the time I was working on VR support for #PsychoPy. I was in the middle of adding #GLTF2 support with PBR shaders, but the project stalled during the pandemic shutdowns
I'm collaborating with someone to bring 3D and eventually VR support to PsychoPy Builder, so that's happening (woo!)
However, OBJ/GLTF2 mesh importers I worked on in grad school are really picky about file structure, requiring everything to be filtered through Blender prior to loading them in PsychoPy. Unfortunately, Blender changed a lot in the last 7 years and it looks like a completely different app now. Guess I should make a doughnut or something
Back into working on VR and stereoscopic rendering again for PsychoPy
Movie playback and recording are both going to be excellent the next #PsychoPy release

Worked on improving camera recordings in PsychoPy today. Some of the optimizations I made to movie player are now being applied to the camera interface with excellent results
Got buttery smooth video playback in #PsychoPy using the new FFMPEG (via ffpyplayer) backend
