Episode notes

This chapter explores the Rerun SDK's capabilities in managing varied data types, including tensors and point clouds, and emphasizes the use of Apache Arrow for efficient serialization. It features real-world applications of spatial data, addressing optimization challenges in open-source software while leveraging Rust for enhanced performance.

Rerun is an open source SDK and viewer for visualizing and interacting with multimodal data streams. The SDK lets you send data from anywhere, and the viewer collects the data and aligns it so the user can scroll back and forth in time to interpret it. The tools have been applied in spatial computing, augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality.

Emil Ernerfeldt is the Co-Founder and CTO of Rerun. Emil is also the creator of egui which is a popular GUI library written in Rust. He joins the podcast to talk about his history in game development, building super fast tools, and developing Rerun.

Gregor Vand is a security-focused technologist, and is the founder and CTO of Mailpass. Previously, Gregor was a CTO across cybersecurity, cyber insurance and general software engineering companies. He has been based in Asia Pacific for almost a decade and can be found via his profile at vand.hk.
