OSVR is an effort to create some sort of consistency in experience for the great deal of disparate experiences in the virtual reality landscape, while also making it easier for hardware tinkerers to create their own experiences using the wide variety of headsets, input methods and sensors on the market.

It's easy to see why venture capitalists care about locking down proprietary IP, secret sauce algorithms and machine learning PhDs, but at the end of the day, plenty of AI's impact on the world will come from determined tinkerers painstakingly building meaningful products on top of technologies built by others.

The Librarian of Congress, which administers specific exemptions to the law, has given wide latitude to tinkerers seeking to break through software locks for the sake of repair or restoring factory settings—it is currently legal to hack into tractors, cars, and cellphones, but it's not legal to jailbreak video game consoles.

They often thought of themselves as, you know, sort of tinkerers and things on their own, and this helped to form a community of people and say, this is kind of the way people learn technology and science, and often not in school but through just their own interest in developing that.

As part of an ongoing initiative to make its AI tools accessible to digital tinkerers, Google is teaming up with the creators of the Raspberry Pi. A new hardware accessory called the "Voice HAT" adds stereo microphones to the credit card-sized computer, and helps anyone use Google's Assistant to control Pi-powered projects.

In a big victory for hacker, tinkerers, and the right to repair movement, the US Copyright Office has ruled some major changes to the legal exemption to the DMCA, making it far easier for owners to build software tools to hack, modify, and repair their own devices, as explained by iFixit founder Kyle Wiens.

It remains to be seen, however, how viable the hardware will be as a basic desktop machine (will it be able to run Windows 10 S like other barebones systems?), but the updated specs seem to indicate that the Pi might have finally graduated from being a tool for just hackers, hobbyists, and tinkerers.

Adults already familiar with j-script could expand its functionality to use it as an interactive remote for smart lights and appliances, making its $100 price tag, when it's available starting on October 1, more appealing to parents, tinkerers, and all us muggles who want to turn the lights off with a flick of the wrist.[Kano]

Out of that question came an audacious idea: the DARPA Grand Challenge, a $1 million prize authorized by Congress to anyone who could build a car that would drive itself from Barstow, CA, to Primm, NV. Over the next year, hundreds of engineers, companies, weekend tinkerers, and university researchers competed with each and built and tested vehicles.

According to AIO Robotics, the company that makes the 3D printer (a Zeus All in One) the team used to print all the Spock-hand pieces, 3D4E (which is also sponsored by AIO Robotics) started with a design from the E-enabling the Future team, another group of 3D tinkerers with a history of designing and giving away 3D-printed prosthesis for amputees.

Apple still won't sell replacement parts for broken iPhones or computers, uses proprietary screws on all of its products, banned the iFixit app from the App Store last year, has worked with the Department of Homeland Security to raid and shut down small repair shops around the country, and continues to make many products and accessories that are unrepairable except by the bravest of tinkerers.
