Welcome to the Website of the engineering side of Eric Falardeau (see www.ericfalardeau.ca for the writer’s side). For Now, this site is entirely devoted to show case personal projects, which are mostly oriented towards audio/video, equipment management and environment control.
Audiobooks creation assistant
This project assists in the creation of audio books using minimal styling and highlighting of .docx files and Amazon Polly. Although the application cannot be used generally yet, it is already fully functional and is giving birth to the audio book version of The Alas League.
Home Control
The “AVEEC” project, also known as “the system” is focused on browsing and streaming music (optimized for classical music, which is terribly poorly handled by all external tools), stream video from personal library (supporting HD, 4K and 3D), controlling equipment in several distinct rooms, controlling lights and plugs where required and harmonizing resource usage to simplify similar activities in different rooms with shared and aggregated controls.
It is currently handling 14,000 CDs (160,000 tracks) and 15,000 movies and TV episodes, serving 5 different rooms and around 40 devices.
