Okay. Hey everyone, a very warm welcome to all of you joining us today from around the world. I am Satwik Jain. I'm the associate product manager and I'm leading the team with Mr. Ayush Kabra for the for making PictoBlox and bringing PictoBlox 9.1.0 towards you. I'm really excited to see such an amazing mix of educators, teachers, and students here. This is exactly what makes the PictoBlox community so special. Before we get started, I want to make this session as interactive as possible. So, don't be shy in the chat. First things first, I want to know where you are all joining from. Drop your country or city in the chat right now. Okay, let's see the chat box. Hello, good afternoon. Canada, Pune, nice. Very excited, guys. Okay, so I'll explain a bit to you about Nigeria, Kolkata, great, guys. Great. Kenya. Indore. Nice. Okay. Should we wait for a few more minutes or should we just start with the session? I'll just present my screen here. Post them. Yeah. Uh is my screen visible? Okay. So, in this session today, uh we'll explore the brand new features in PictoBlox 9.1.0, see how you can actually use them for your projects or in your classrooms, and most importantly for today, we are here to discuss how you will decide what goes into PictoBlox 10.0.0. What new features we'll be putting in will be coming from you all, guys. So, yeah, if anything's in your mind, yeah, start describing it so we can make it happen in PictoBlox 10.0.0. So, let let me PictoBlox 9.1.0 now, and here's 9.1.0 in front of you. We'll just have a quick feature walk-through. We have added SSO support. We have added two new environments, embedded C++ controls, uh the much-awaited, much-talked-about Quarky Intelio here. We have the Quarky connect support. We have a new extension called image processing, cloud variable extension, graph extension, some productivity tools for you, uh improved video editor, and uh for learning, for enhancing our learning process, we have added examples. We have enhanced them a lot. And a new offline text-to-speech support is there. With uh advanced for advanced users, we have added Quarky advanced line following and advanced sensors, and much more, much more. There's a lot to come. Okay, let's move forward. Uh so, yeah, we have embedded C++ environment. Uh so, until now, many of you have been using PictoBlox mainly with block-based coding or with Python, which is great for learning or for rapid prototyping. But to build projects with Evive, Arduino, or let's say any other microcontroller, and use the libraries in PictoBlox, a dedicated environment was required. So, for that, we have added this environment. So, now you can compile your code directly into C++, and we have a dedicated library for the dependencies for different microcontrollers, so you can use them in PictoBlox, and we have also added a serial plotter, which can be used to plot the sensor data with respect to time. Uh I would request now Ayush Kabra to present PictoBlox, so we can have a better view of this extension. And yeah, we have added support currently for all the Arduino boards, Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano, very own Evive, and also for ESP32. So, yeah. Uh Ayush, I would request you to present PictoBlox. So, firstly, we have to select our board in PictoBlox. Which board do we want to work with? Uh let's say we'll start with Evive today. So, after that, we can connect to the board, and then we'll see what we can write here. We have It's already uh the library for Evive is already included after we have selected the board. Uh we have the scripting area where we will write. We have a boilerplate code for this, which appears in many platforms. Uh then, let's come down to the bottom side of the page. Uh we have the terminal. So, terminal is used to show any of the messages that, okay, the code has been compiled or if the code has been uploaded. Uh speaking of compile, we have added a new compile button, so you can check your code if it has any errors or not before uploading it to the microcontroller board. And after this, we have the serial monitor, which is used for communication between uh uh between the board and PictoBlox. Here, different types of uh different [clears throat] types of sensors data come in, that let's say if the analog values or analog readings or digital readings come in. Uh we have a serial plotter, too, which can be used to plot the plot this data. Uh now, let's move on to the library manager. Okay, so here we can install libraries for different boards. For Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano, we have the installer. We can install different specified version which you want to use in your project. And so, yeah. So, this makes the C++ embedded C++ environment very important for advanced-level users. So, if you're a beginner, don't worry, you don't need to start from here. But if you're someone who wants to go deeper into electronics, robotics, or IoT, this exactly the tool you all should start exploring. Uh yeah. So, any questions still now for this? Okay. Uh before moving forward, I would like to know who are you. Are you a student, a teacher, or education trainer, or a hobbyist? You can write down in the YouTube chat. Okay, teacher. Education trainer, students. Nice to see. Primary ICT teacher, great. STEM and robotics educator, great, guys. Okay. Yeah. Uh we have put down a poll, too, if you want to react on that. Yeah. So, okay. Should we move forward for the next environment? Are you guys excited for that? Okay. Let's move on to it. Okay, so we have covered the advanced environment. Now, let's see something for the beginners. Okay, we have the controls environment uh in PictoBlox. Now, it's it's super simple, but it's really powerful. So, this is a brand new environment where you can control robots like Quarky and Wizbot without writing any code at all. Yes, no blocks, no scripts, just a simple on-screen interface. So, instead of building programs, you can directly move the robot, control the motor, test different features in real time, all with just a few clicks. Uh this thing is especially useful when you want to quickly test your hardware. You're just getting started and you don't know what what to code yet or you want to demonstrate something instantly in the class. So let's let's have a demo video of uh what he can uh in controls. Yeah, let's see this video. It will be connected on uh to the And it quirky robot. And then you see that we can move it with it. Just by using keys, just connecting and coding nothing. We can use We are using simple keys to move the servo motor and also the lights of uh quirky LED display can also be controlled from that. So yeah, that's how it works. So easy, so simple. And yeah, yet so effective and powerful. Uh yeah. How a student We have a question here. How a student learns about logic if everything is controlled easily? So uh okay. To learn about logic, you also need to learn about what a desired output is needed. So it it uh this environment will show you, okay, this is the desired output and this is how we want the blocks to work or this is how we want to arrange it. Uh this for simple you know, students in uh primary classes. For those students, this environment has been targeted. So yeah. That's uh the answer for your question. Uh yes. Okay, I think we should move on to our next uh Intelliyou, which is the most talked and most awaited. Uh I guess we all have heard about Intelliyou. Uh it is such a powerful device because it brings multiple smart capabilities into one compact device. So Intelliyou extends our PictoBlox beyond traditional robotics by enabling direct work with real-world AI inputs such as images, sound, uh and live data streams without requiring any kind of external peripherals. It has a camera, uh 5-megapixel camera. It uh it supports a USB C-type charging port. Uh and also it is uh it can it transfer data with that. We have a a speaker. We have a SD card slot. Also a TFT display port is there. So you can connect a display board there. Uh it's a it has a lithium-ion battery. Most importantly, it has LEGO-compatible boards, mounts, uh which you can use for making your DIY projects. Uh a microphone, uh GPIO and I2C port. Servo port. And it's based on a ESP32 S3. With uh RGB LEDs also included there. So yeah, it it's one compact device with many smart capabilities. So using the built-in camera, you can capture images, stream live video, uh and even build vision-based projects with the onboard microphone and speaker. Uh you can record audio, play sounds, uh and create interactive audio-based projects. Uh you can store your captured files in SD card storage, which can be mounted in the Intelliyou board. Plus with the wireless connectivity, it connects with seamlessly with PictoBlox making everything hassle-free and smooth. Uh and it supports both block-based coding and Python programming. So moving on to the next part. Uh you have the To learn about Intelliyou, we have added few examples in there, uh which have which you can access through the learn menu in the top navbar. You can go in learn and there are examples and then select the Intelliyou category to access these examples. Uh the different kits of Intelliyou, uh you can use these examples. Okay, I think it's time to move towards the extensions that we have added in PictoBlox. So these are the new extensions. I'll go through them one by one. Uh let's start with the cloud variable example first. For which is used for multiplayer activities. It is really exciting because if you have ever wanted to build a multiplayer or collaborative projects, this is the extension for you. So with this extension, you can share data between multiple users in the same project in real time. So for example, let's say if uh we have made a game and we want to keep the scores in the game and while playing the game too. So we can do this with cloud variable. We can store the usernames and any kind of game or project data can be stored in this. Uh when one user updates this cloud variable, everyone else sees the change instantly. So instead of your project working for just one user, it can now work for many users at the same time. Yeah, so uh I'll just present to you one example of cloud variable game that we have made and we were playing it in the office. So yeah. This is the cloud variable example. So it's based on the famous Getting Over It game. Uh you see you can see two players are playing it simultaneously and and they are kind of racing each other. So that's how this example works. Yeah. I think that will be enough. Oh and the best part is you can connect your project to a server, create cloud variables, set or delete values, and even check who is currently connected. It's very easy to use in this way. Moving on to our next uh example, uh sorry, extension. We have AprilTag, uh which is really cool. So you guys must have heard about AprilTag extension. Uh AprilTags from It has been made by uh Michigan University. It's a It's really interesting and it's really good if you are interested in AI vision and robotics. This is the extension for you. Uh so basically, AprilTags are special special markers uh special vision markers and uh that a camera can detect and identify very accurately. So AprilTag can tell us about the relative position in 3D coordinates, angle with the robot, and uh best thing about it is it is very uh light and it can be identified very quickly by the robots and the camera. So if you are working with Intelliyou, this is the thing for you. Uh because each tag has an unique identity, uh your project can detect which tag it is, track its position, and respond differently based on the tag. Okay, we have a question here. Earlier to this, cloud need to use Blynk code and for image processing, Teachable Machine processing IDE for visual tracking, but the first two things done by PictoBlox now are amazing. Uh thank you very much, HB uh MB4OP. Thank you very much for your kind words. Uh so AprilTag extension can be used with robotic navigation and AI-based projects, which will be very interesting. Okay, now let's see how the AprilTag uh exactly works. So we have created a simple project uh in which we need to take Toby to its home just by uh using AprilTag. Uh we have our camera running in the background and this is how AprilTag comes in. And it's really fast, you know, you can see the how the steps are changing with that. And uh yeah. This is how Toby reaches his home. It's that simple and it's uh that fast. Okay. Now moving on, we have another extension uh for uh from AI uh perspective. We have a image processing extension, which is uh which is for you because if you are interested in AI vision and real-world application, you can use our image processing extension blocks. And uh what this extension does is it processes and analyzes images in real time. It detects objects, shapes, or colors and applies filters and transformations to them so that we can build smart vision projects. Uh let's play a little guess personality game Guess the Personality game here. We have added two images in the hidden way and only one great personality's image will be reflected. And we have used this using uh image processing extension. So I'll just play the video and I'll pause it to look for your responses. Yeah. Okay. >> Okay. Here is the image and let's see if you can guess the personality. There there are two personalities hidden in this image. We have done this using different color shading. I will I will tell you the answer which personality will get revealed now. So yeah, shows Albert Einstein. We could have seen it was Benjamin Franklin earlier, but in the same image image we have revealed and encoded two images in this way. So that's the use of uh image processing extension. We'll go again with this extension. So here we have another image. Yeah, let's reveal the answer now. Well, which one come on the uh which one would get revealed? So Mahatma Gandhi's image gets revealed. So yeah, that's how I have simplified this extension by with this because it would have been really complex to understand it with okay, it's doing this filter and that filter, but I think with a game it has been really simplified for you guys. Yeah, we have our answer now. Uh okay, we have put down a poll. Which extension you found most interesting? I would love to know about your answers. William Wordsworth Okay. It's one of your responses. Okay, I think we should move forward with the next extension. So our next extension is really exciting. Uh We'll see how robots work together using this extension. We have introduced an extension called Quarky Connect and it lets you connect multiple Quarky robots wirelessly using ESP now and it means your Quarky robots can communicate directly with each other. Earlier only one Quarky robot could be connected with Pictoblox, but now multiple Quarky robots can be connected. This this extension is based on master peer architecture, so there will be one master Quarky and other Quarky would be selected on as a peer to this master Quarky. So up to 20 Quarky can be connected to it. So without any using any Wi-Fi router or any kind of internet, just fast seamless connection between devices. So with this you can make your Quarky robots control each other. I'll just describe to you how this extension would work. So there would be one master Quarky, there would be different Quarky Quarky peer Quarky which will be connected to master Quarky and then it would be connected with the with Pictoblox. So in this way this architecture would work. Uh next I'll show you this application of this project and this extension. So we can run the code and command all other Quarky just using the master Quarky. So you guys can see that this is we have the master Quarky in our hand here. And we connect it to other Quarky and we have made a Quarky flower video project. And you can also make a Quarky Rangoli if this is a reference for the Indian audience. You can make a Quarky Rangoli digitized version of the Rangoli and other patterns and we made. So this kind of extension would be perfect for classroom activities, team projects and exploring wireless communication and building really fun collaborative projects. So students can learn a lot from this. Yeah. Moving forward we have the graph extension. Uh >> [clears throat] >> I would like to request Ayush to share the screen for this. So that we can see what the graph extension is about. So graph extension has been added for students to learn about data visualization and using that we and learning that using block-based coding. So we are we'll be using a an example for this uh that we have made earlier. So let's maximize the stage. So in this project we what we have done is we have put down classes and the number of student in each class. That's a simple table and we have made a bar graph for it. So each time we'll use this graph and it's based on random values only, so this graph will change. If we'll click and hover over the graph, we can see is that it's a live graph and will show values for it. So in this way we can see. Now let's edit this graph and see how many types of visualizations we can make with that. So when we'll edit this graph you can see that we can make different types. We can make a line chart, we can make a bar chart, a pie chart or a scatter plot, too. And we can also decide where we want to place it. So in this way we can use the graph extension and learn how to do data visualization and how students can do this and learn about graphs and other data visualization techniques. >> [clears throat] >> Okay, let's bring back the presentation. Somewhere someone has posted how to get so many Quarky for Quarky Connect. Uh great question. Uh Yeah, we will we'll we'll post the purchase link for our products in the link in the chat box soon. Okay, now moving forward with our uh extensions, we have this extension was basically launched in Pictoblox 9.0.1 which was patch update. Uh for people in the This was mainly competition based and it's for advanced users only. So using Quarky we can use many kind of advanced sensors like if you want to detect color sensors, pulse sensor, RGB sensor, we have an accelerometer or a gyroscope with it. Uh we can detect pH with our pH sensor and all using the microcontroller Quarky and we can connect it to a OLED or LED display. So yeah, there are examples for it so that you can learn how to use this extension and make your projects well versed with it. So [clears throat] yeah, make some real life application projects using this Quarky advanced sensor board. Coming forward I'm moving forward, we have added some productivity features for users who use Pictoblox heavily, who make long projects and they they have to search between the projects for debugging and doing other kinds of things. So we have added for for them this feature. This is the search in block feature, so you can see that we have added a search uh wherever we Whenever you search, if there are even multiple blocks, we can uh it will point towards it. If there are multiple blocks, we can toggle between which block is being showed and in this way you can find the block which you want to debug and make your projects efficient and work towards them efficiently. Yeah. Next we have a question that uh have a there's a doubt regarding new extension and that says that they only work for Intel you offer other microcontrollers, too. Uh so the advanced follower advanced sensors work only with Quarky for now. We'll add support for that, too. Thank you for asking. Moving forward, we have the enable and disable block feature. Uh okay. So, when making long projects, we can see that we have to we need to debug something that okay, this is working and this is not. For that, we have added this feature on request that uh you can enable or disable blocks to see if the code is working perfectly with this block or not, rather than removing them and rearranging the blocks again and again, making a tedious job just to make one project and making debugging a very you know, uh tiresome task. So, for that, we have added this feature. So, you can see when we'll right click on the block, we can disable the block or the entire script. Firstly, we have disabled uh the block first. When we'll disable the script, when we >> [clears throat] >> disable the script, the entire connected blocks interconnected blocks would get uh the entire connected blocks would get disabled. Uh so, yeah. That's how this uh feature works. Uh we can uh disable scripts and then we all can also enable them by replacing them okay with this parameters, it would work. And uh yeah, that's how we'll it will increase the productivity uh while making features and projects. Okay. Moving on the for the learning curve, uh I would we have added the examples. We have enhanced the feature example screen largely. We have worked a lot on it for you guys. Uh we have added 150 plus examples for uh 150 examples for the for your learning. And this is for uh we have made them offline too and online downloadable. And we have added this feature that we would be adding more examples uh along with you uh along with that so that you can guys you guys can keep updated and we can also share good projects with you. So, yeah. I'll uh share screen with Ayush Kabra, who would present it on Pictoblox. Okay, I'll explain to you what update we have done. Let's first start from the shop. Uh we have added the drop-down feature of blocks. Uh now you can toggle between different blocks if different environments efficiently. You can see what other examples you want to learn from and toggle between them without you going back and doing a new project and doing a tiresome task for that. Uh so, you can see that okay, let's see examples for machine learning. Let's say Percy. So, we'll go to machine learning and if you'll download this example, we would be into uh we'll be joining uh transfer to machine learning environment. Okay. Next, uh I'll tell you about the different features that we have added in uh this. So, we have arranged the examples in an increasing difficulty manner so that as you go down, you can see more advanced level projects based on your learning ability. And uh yeah. So, moving forward is a slow learning curve, not a sleep steep learning curve for you. Next, we have added uh more explainable and uh graphics, which is which was needed for students to understand okay, what the project would exactly be doing. Uh there is the advanced search feature. Uh let's say I want to uh play a game game example. So, if you'll search game, we would get the shortlisted uh examples there. And let's uh go to any kind of example. Let's say we go into a vibe example. Uh any of this example, we would load. So, it would get downloaded in a in this way. Will there be added courses on the LMS on how these new features work with example? Uh I I'm a bit unaware on that thing, but uh yeah, surely we can make something happen for that. Uh thank you for your suggestion, Scott Francis. Uh we'll definitely keep that in mind and uh make something happen for that. So, you can see here we have added comments for each of the example codes so that it makes it self-explanatory and people are not just following blocks randomly, but also learning from them that okay, how this code exactly works. Okay. Okay. Coming back to the PPT now. Or Next thing is a bit support for teacher, students, and all all kinds of user because we have added SSO support for signing in and you can you don't have to make any other account on Pictoblox. You can sign in on and you have to remember those credentials for your Pictoblox account differently. From now on, you can just sign in with Google, Microsoft, or your or your Apple account and make it your live Pictoblox account. So, there is the single sign-on. So, using this feature, you can like share your projects, use the AI extension, and make purchase credit using this this feature only, using the single ID. Moving forward, we have We have some 3D and XR Studio updates. So, we have added a highlight and outline glow effects for this. So, you can make your projects more interactive with this using the >> [clears throat] >> highlight and glow effects. You can make them look alive like we have we have this neuron feature uh neuron here, which is blinking and we have made this possible using the glow effect that we have added in 3D and XR Studio. Another one is uh in the 3D and XR Studio updates, we have a snap feature, which you can use for placing objects. So, we uh we were getting requests that uh placing objects is a bit tedious task. So, using this, we can just place it with the surface to surface. So, you can see that in this way, it will be moving forward. And you [clears throat] can place your objects in this way. Arranging a room, uh making a scenery, or something like that will be much easier using this feature. So, we have added some general improvements too uh like uh no pop-up stacking. So, no marketing pop-ups like we used to update you on what is happening in the world of Pictoblox, uh any kinds of competition like uh or updates coming, any kinds of boot camp. There used to be Code Avenger updates about finals, registration, what the dates would be. So, no pop-up stacking would appear uh would be from now. Next, uh we have optimized hand tracking uh there. Uh And there used to be a block overlap issue. Uh we had to clean up blocks for better formatting of the project. Now, that won't happen. And uh >> [clears throat] >> Then we have uh we have added ESP driver support. So, ESP is being manufactured by two different companies and which use a different driver. So, now we have added support for both kind of drivers. We have improved Quarky line following. Quarky line following is used heavily in competitions for uh line following competition minimum time uh following competition. For that, you have added uh updates like uh adaptive feedback and you can use better calibration uh using this extension. And much more. So, now Now, we'll it's time for some questions from your side. Uh I guess let's look alive, guys, on the YouTube chat now. And let's see what questions you guys have. I'll be looking down at questions. Okay. So, you guys have found April uh cloud variable extension the most interesting. Thank you, guys. Uh I think I should uh give the due credit. It has been developed by uh Mr. Rishit Modi, software developer at Pictoblox. And uh yeah. I would get it. How to purchase new Quarky in Delhi? Uh So, for now, uh can purchase it on Indiegogo. We have added our details on website. We'll be adding it on this chat box, too. So, now we can talk about what new features in PictoBlox 10.0.0 we have thought about and what would be the next versions of PictoBlox be looking like. So, uh let's talk a bit about that. I used to get high RAM usage warnings. Was this addressed in the new update? Yes, Bot Francis, we have added this uh added this in the next version. We have added high RAM optimization. We have been optimizing PictoBlox for that. Uh the opening time and installation time, it's all been kept in mind and been worked upon. Is there core structure on which kids should be taught machine learning? Uh yeah, there is a course on our PictoBlox LMS which you can get access to uh for that and learn machine learning. We There is a We have seven different kinds of model which you can use and learn machine learning from the very basics and uh yeah, that's it. Uh guys, anyone who wants to check out the link for purchasing Intello or any other products, we have uh we have deployed the link in the chat box. Yeah. So, yeah, let's talk about the features for PictoBlox 10.0.0. So, uh because we are living in the generative AI world, uh I guess we had to add an image generation extension and image description extension which which would be included with ChatGPT. Uh we have another question. Will the update be available on PictoBlox web version? Uh yeah, soon we'll be adding this uh these updates. PictoBlox web version would be updated soon uh and uh you can use uh all the features that have been included in PictoBlox 9.0.0 till now. Yeah, and it's really exciting because if you have uh if you want to use PictoBlox web anywhere, you can uh use it. It can be used via tablets and iPads, too. Yeah, you can use it there, too. Or you can use the applications which is available on Google Play Store and Android App Store, too. Like uh like we were talking about image description and uh image generation extension with ChatGPT uh extension support. Uh so, yeah, we are using generative AI now uh to teach students and it's a it's a will be a really interesting fun-based learning extension. So, we'll be using uh chat OpenAI ChatGPT for generating images and children will be prompting that what kind of image they want to generate and uh they will or they can also upload images which they need description for. So, for projects uh based on AI, it will be really helpful and uh marking it as a pioneer in its own way. Uh now we are uh uh the PictoBlox vision was to focus on its uh younger crowd and newer users first. So, we have added a getting started for that. Uh for beginner level users, so that they their onboarding journey on PictoBlox is uh gets much easier because uh we have to students would used to find difficult what to do and what to start with onboarding and uh that's how we want to educate them on how to use all the environments differently and uh extract all of it from PictoBlox. Uh so, like uh like we were talking about easy learning, uh so for that we have added extensions. Uh we Each extension will have its documentation linked with it from now, so you can use uh so you can learn how that extension can be used, how those blocks are used, and how a project can be used. So, for that we have added all the examples related to that extension with there. So, you can easily access those examples and learn about how that extension is working. Like we have talked about we have uh we are doing RAM usage optimization and uh we have added also the Google Classroom integration for assignment submission. So, that you can directly submit your SB3 files using uh using Google Classroom directly on your Google Classroom. Yeah, and many more. Now, I would like to know what would you guys like to add in PictoBlox 10.0.0 or in the coming version? Would it be uh would it be AI extensions? Would it be uh like more tutorials and uh uh also you can uh talk about Arduino boards or whatever kind of board that you would like to add, any kind of hardware that you would like to get included in PictoBlox.
