Haptics: Bubiko, Lei Cha and Data Science (Ingredients)
This is the second post in a series in which I have fun with lei cha, haptics and Bubiko. Later, when things are more organized and clear, I hope this catch the interest of data scientists, information specialists and CG filmmakers/animators. There is a fun dimension to all of this, but I seriously wonder what would happen if 1% of the earth’s population ate one bowl of lei cha a week…10%? 100% ?What would happen environmentally, economically and to the health of everyone and the planet?
For now, a list of ingredients. In a future post, I will describe the ingredients and add links.If you know some ingredients that I missed, please add them in the comments section. Also, tips on places that make great lei cha are always welcome! Those too, can go in the comments section.
