Episode notes

This chapter explores the open-source project Rerun, celebrated for its impressive community support and innovative approach to data visualization tools in robotics and computer vision. It discusses the challenges faced by industries needing effective solutions, the journey to achieving product market fit, and unexpected applications such as video game debugging. The narrative emphasizes the aspirations for Rerun to enhance user experience through customizability, cloud integration, and integration of advanced features in everyday devices.

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.
