A luxury keyboard designed with ergonomic principles in mind.

Designed for manufacture in aluminum and stainless steel via 3-axis CNC milling and fiber laser cutting.

Iteratively designed with chipboard prototype plates and software-defined key placements to optimize comfort.

Novel lever mechanism reduces digit over-extension while maintaining compatibility with standard Cherry-MX switches for customization.

Features 3D-printed tented keycap profiles and custom legends - keeping all necessary keys within reach.

Inspired by the extemporaneous performances of Reggie Watts, the 2880+ expands Watts' toolkit so it can be taken on the go.

Prototyped in bent sheet metal and off-the-shelf components.

Integrated circuit board includes battery management and speaker amplification in a single, standalone unit.

Designed to affix directly to the original hardware in an unobtrusive manner.

Bundles together a battery and built-in speakers for live-looping performance - anytime, anywhere.

Manufactured from bent plywood and steel tubing.

Designed as a complete set of furniture for a breakfast nook with a modern, semi-industrial feel.

cadop/HumanGenerator endeavors to enhance the generation of human models in NVIDIA’s Omniverse Kit. Our focus is on enriching realism in simulations and visualizations across diverse design applications, leveraging the Universal Scene Description (USD) format.

As a plugin for Omniverse, HumanGenerator addresses the limitations of existing proprietary and costly tools. Our research delved into animation, mesh processing, and data optimization, fostering a collaborative and adaptive codebase.

Aligned with industry standards like USD, this project promotes community engagement and research opportunities. A significant part of our work involved optimizing performance, particularly in transitioning from reliance on external codebases to a more integrated approach. This shift has allowed for improved real-time responsiveness and enhanced user experience.

Our efforts have culminated in a plugin that enables dynamic adjustments and seamless visualization of human figures, proving beneficial in educational and professional settings. The HumanGenerator plugin is a testament to our dedication to creating accessible, efficient design tools within the Omniverse ecosystem.
