Trnava, Slovakia
Hi. My name is Peter and I am interested in Apple technology, HCI, design, computer music, art and I like to prototype and make things that can help people. I study Applied Informatics at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, Slovakia. I successfully completed my bachelor's degree and now I am in the last year of my master's degree.
Scholarships
Peter has been awarded a WWDC scholarship in 2024. Here is the submission that got him there.
In 2024, applicants were tasked with creating an interactive app playground on the topic of their choice to showcase their passion for coding. New for 2024, 50 Distinguished Winners were recognized for their outstanding submissions and invited to Apple in Cupertino. Here’s how Peter describes his winning submission.
My playground is about how I made a mistake in Game of Life simulation, that ends up creating something naturally nice and it's source of inspiration for drawing experience with Pencil. Drawing can be viewed in AR. Along the way you learn about the boids algorithm and about my customization of genetic algorithm that serves as music chord progression generator. Chords are played by sampler and you can control sustain pedal using your mouth. This accessibility feature is part of my app MouthPedal.
