You do now. Giv’er
Hi @Phillip_Ma,
There will be 5 of us tomorrow. Excited for our visit. See you at 1:00pm!
Hi, just found your place online and curious if I can have a tour any time this week? I specifically interested in your CNC and turntable availability.
Cheers,
Dima
Hi Dima,
Starting on Thursday through Sunday this week we’ll be opening our doors for Culture Crawl. It will be a great chance to drop in and see the space but it won’t give you a good idea on what our typical days look like. Feel free to come by Thursday or Friday Evening from 5pm to 10pm and Saturday or Sunday from 11am-6pm.
Otherwise stop by on Tuesday next week and you’ll see VHS back in it’s normal operations and get a better sense of what its like to be a member.
Thank you for your reply! I think I can try to stop by tomorrow then
Hi - greetings from Foulab, in Montreal. I’ll be in Vancouver from the 9-15, and I’d love to drop by and check out VHS. I know Tuesday would be the best but getting there by 9 might be tricky for work reasons. Do you really shut it down at 9, or is there likely to be folks there later?
Failing that, would there be anyone around Saturday or Sunday evening?
Welcome, @Strawdog! I can’t speak for everyone on a Tuesday, but it does seem to be a trend that people will be hanging out after 9. @Phillip_Ma, @TankGuy, and a few others are usually holding down the space on Tuesdays, they may have more to say.
@Strawdog I usually host open hours on the Tuesday Nights and i can confirm more often than not other key holding members stick around past 9pm. There’s usually someone around on the weekends but no guarantee someone will be there when you arrive. Ring the door bell and hopefully someone opens up.
@Weas3l , @Phillip_Ma That sounds great - I’ll make an effort to slip away early and arrive before 9, but it might not be a lot before 9. Thats great if typically people hang out a bit longer. But of course, if you do need to close up, no worries at all.
Hi everyone,
My name is Billy, and I’m excited to join the Vancouver Hack Space community. I’m a profoundly deaf gamer and technology enthusiast with a passion for creating innovative solutions that promote accessibility.
I’m currently working on a project inspired by the idea behind AudioRadar, but I want to take it to the next level. My goal is to build a device that:
- Uses AI to detect and classify a wide range of sounds in real time.
- Provides subtitles for background noises and voice recognition.
- Offers closed captions tailored specifically for gaming environments.
This project is deeply personal to me as it’s designed to break barriers and make gaming more inclusive for deaf and hearing-impaired players.
I’m looking to connect with individuals who have expertise in:
- AI and machine learning (sound classification, speech-to-text).
- UI/UX design for assistive devices.
- Sound engineering or related fields.
If this resonates with you or aligns with your interests, I’d love to collaborate and bring this vision to life. Please don’t hesitate to reach out via email at hearnoevil55@hotmail.com or introduce yourself at a meetup—I’m looking forward to learning from and working with this amazing community!
Thank you,
Billy
Hi @Billiam1 Welcome to VHS! Your project sounds really cool.
I think your best bet would be to come down and introduce yourself on a Tuesday open house… the schedule is online at isvhsopen.ca
Hello! My name is Chase, and I am pumped to explore what VHS has to offer. I’ve been searching around to see how I can dive into creating for a while now…
I am really hoping to connect with people and train up in regards to the following:
- 3D Printing and finishing
- Embroidery - Jackets, etc.
- Leather Work
- Potential Work with metals
- Graphic Design
I do plan on coming down during open house on Tuesday for a tour, but If its possible to explore the space earlier on Saturday, I would love to chat!
Looking forwards to meeting people!
Hey y’all,
I’m Henry. Very excited to join the Vancouver Hack Space! I’m a robotics engineer who’ll be graduating very soon, and I look forward to connecting with like minded makers and working on open source robotics that isn’t constantly leaking all our personal data (my day job is SRE and its getting sort of ridiculous how much this is happening).
I’m currently working on real time drone 3d reconstruction: the drone streams RGB+depth video to a backend server which reconstructs a 3D environment model in real time. My interests are pretty much anything open source robotics, electrical, or software. Once I graduate and join I think I’ll try jailbreaking the new robot dog (unitree go 2) they released and see if I can run my own AIs on it.
Thinking of dropping by on a Tuesday, either the 31st or the 7th, whatever works better with y’all! Btw @Billiam1 if you’re around then I’d love to chat, very cool project.
Hello all,
I’m an artist exploring electronics with my son. We’re enjoying this together.
I know it’s short notice.
(My son lives on the Sunshine Coast, and visits me on weekends.)
Would anyone be available/interested in giving us a brief tour this weekend?
Thank you,
Buck
Hi @Buck ! - I’m planning to be at the hackspace from 10-2pm on Saturday. I might be training someone in the woodshop during that time but we can still make sure you get a tour of the space then.
Hello Philip,
Thank you so much for this?
We would be very happy drop by around 11:00am.
Please let me know if there are any special instructions for when we arrive.
Much appreciated.
Hey All,
Is the shop open tonight for tours?
I am an architect and furniture designer + builder. I’m an experienced woodworker looking for a new space that can be a more permanently accessible home for my projects. Hopefully someone can show me around.
Seems like a great community vibe here. Is someone around to give me a tour around 6pm today?
Thanks!
Yes - we hold an open house night every Tuesday - Drop on by and say Hi. I should be around from 4:30 - 9 pm.
Hi everyone!
My name is Juan, and I am a tinkerer who just learned about VHS and I’m just dropping a line to let you know I am planning to go today around 4:30pm.
Cheers,
Juan
Hi everyone, I am curious about joining. I’m leaving town Monday for a while so won’t be able to make the next Tuesday tour, but wondering if I could come by some time after 1pm today (Friday Jan 31st). Thanks!
