Lucky is a Software Engineer in the R&D division of BBD Software and a game development lecturer at the Digitals Arts division of Wits University in Johannesburg. He has experience in building and maintaining enterprise banking software with varying tech-stacks; all the way from VB6 and .Net to web and cloud technologies. Lucky is interested in IoT and passionate about making technology accessible through the web.
My talk covers the power of modern browsers and how their features can be used to create accessible web applications that facilitate the delivery of meaningful and interactive experiences. I show this by flying a drone with a variety of control schemes; from pure JS to my phone's accelerometer and even detecting my hand gestures with no direct contact to anything.
