Touch interfaces are amazing for fast prototyping, but the endgame of any interface is to become so refined and simple that it serves it's purpose embodied in a physical object. Musicians and audio engineers know this well and have a whole industry dedicated to create amazing and useful physical interfaces. Our hands provide immediate and unbeatable feedback when it pushes a knob or fader. Response is instant. Corrections are seamless. No ghost touch, no blocking information on the screen, not weird finger movements and gestures. Artists NEED control. Mouse and keyboard interface is amazing in terms of control, but it lacks feedback. Let's spice it up with some good ol' tangible control surfaces.

We took the opportunity to learn to use ComfyUI and Stable Video Diffusion. We were able to install ComfyUI environment on our own hardware and made it available for the whole team. Starting from the basic workflow and generated a short clip and 4 different alternative clips. So we are exploring kind of exploring "parallel realities" from the original image. This idea originated after listening to a Karen Palacio's videoessay in which she mentions the parallelism between non-linearity in dreams and machine learning generative systems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA_lfIddqiA We also had the idea to explore different narratives in the "parallel realities" based on Kurt Vonegut's lectue "The Shape of Stories" and variations on that theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP3c1h8v2ZQ Unfortunatelly Stable Video Diffusion is not easily conditioned with text yet. And we didn't have enough time to explore this idea.

Rural areas in our country face a severe healthcare crisis, particularly in Santiago del Estero, Argentina’s most rural province. With only 1.7 doctors per 1,000 people—less than half the national average—and 64% of residents living in poverty, limited access to care has devastating consequences. Late HIV diagnoses affect 56% of cases, with 39% identified at advanced stages. Broken referral systems, a shortage of specialists, and poor internet infrastructure further isolate healthcare workers and hinder patient outcomes. Our solution, Rural Llama-Health, is an app tailored for healthcare workers in low-resource settings. It features an intuitive interface powered by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), speech-to-text capabilities, and Open Source LLAMA technology to diagnose and track diseases effectively. The app provides rapid access to medical data and decision-making tools, saving time and improving care, even in areas with poor infrastructure or limited specialist availability. By empowering primary care and community health workers, Rural Llama-Health addresses key challenges and aims to bridge healthcare gaps in underserved communities.
