Hi, I'm Denis
I'm a computer engineering hobbyist with a passion for Virtual Reality, 3D Printers, Electronics, and other DIY ventures.
Projects
Reboot: Anomaly Holdout
Reboot: Anomaly Holdout is a sci-fi horror mixed-reality game where players survive an alien threat using a custom-built physical control panel with buttons, LEDs, and tactile controls to scan rooms and activate defenses. The project won Best XR Experience at Reality Hack @ MIT 2026 and uniquely combines ArUco tracking with Samsung Galaxy XR passthrough to overlay the physical controller in VR.
DIY High-Speed & Portable 3D Printer
As a challenge for myself to get better at CAD, I designed and built a portable yet high-speed 3D printer from the ground up. It features double the flowrate and acceleration of similarly sized printers while still fitting into a pelican case when folded.
TempSense VR Thermal Haptics
Started at the MIT Reality Hack 2025, where our team won third place overall, TempSense is a novel approach to VR haptics utilizing peltier modules for real heat and cold sensations.
Long Range FPV Drone V2
A second, more refined attempt at a long range fpv plane, this time based on the HeeWing T1 Ranger platform. It solves a number of issues that were discovered with V1.
The 100 High Speed 3D Printer
A venture into building a 3d printer from scratch with a focus on sheer speed, this monster can reach accelerations of nearly 100,000mm/s^2
Project Northstar
An open source AR headset boasting an impressive field of view of over 90 degrees.
Directional Watchman Dongles
An attempt to mitigate SteamVR hardware's 2.4ghz interference issues by creating a custom receiver dongle with directional antennas.
Autonomous FPV Wing
A fully autonomous capable FPV RC plane built around the Nano Goblin body.
Virtual Desktop Body Tracking Configurator
Although it may be the ugliest code ever written, this program was written during my time as a Virtual Desktop Moderator and has helped numerous people dial in their preferred IOBT settings.
