On Glitch This Week

Glitch This Week is a regular series in which we round-up just some of the amazing projects that fantastic creators have made on Glitch. Here are a few projects that caught our eye this week.

An Optical Illusion

You might have seen that brown ball optical illusion doing the rounds on Twitter. Yeah, this one.

All the balls are the same color and that color is *brown*!

Well, Kate Beard re-created it in WebVR. Her delightfully named project "tripping-balls" is a virtual recreation that you can walk around to try and understand just how the illusion works.

Just Jam!

"ml-jam" by Pablo Samuel Castro features an in-browser keyboard and drum machine. Using Magenta.js, it allows you to jam with machine learning models in real-time and without having to train a thing.

How it works is explained in the accompanying blog post, but it's a way for musicians to make use of machine learning during live performances.

Try Lodge.js

Jesse von Doom made lodge.js to make working with bite-sized functionality much simpler. It brings consistency in interaction to the little workflows we often reinvent modals, quick forms, embeds, and even checkout flows.

It's a single lightweight library that simplifies modal content and enables secure synchronization of events between windows.

Other apps in this week's round-up include a typing game, an interactive art piece, and a crash course in electronics. Check them out!
