A clay-style character stands holding a small microchip. A glowing blue beam rises from holographic circuitry in front of him. He slowly moves the chip into the light as if activating it. The animation is calm, subtle and futuristic.

Building Universes from Code: When Theory Meets the Physical World

Series: The Journey from Code to Hardware - Part 1 The Journey from Code to Hardware - Part 1 In the controlled stillness of a development environment, code behaves almost like a theoretical model of the universe. Variables shift with precision. Systems respond exactly as they were written. Every behaviour feels clean, deterministic, beautifully behaved. It’s a kind of digital cosmos where nothing unexpected ever happens - a place shaped by intention rather than by physics. B

A split portrait Tim. The left side shows a fully coloured clay-animation version with warm textures and a cosmic background. The right side shows the same character as an unfinished, monochrome 3D model against a grey geometric environment. The image highlights the transformation from raw digital modelling to a finished animated style

Building Universes from Code: Turning Raw Reality into Structured Digital Space

AR gives us everything, every contour of a wall, every grain in the floor, every shift in light. But raw AR scans are messy, chaotic, and vast. Millions of points without hierarchy. A universe without physics. To build a digital world from this, we must reduce the infinite into something graspable. We filter, cluster, reconstruct. We search for planes buried in the noise. We simplify the unnecessary, compress the redundant, and extract the essential shape of a space. What beg
