Project Objectives
High Priority Objectives
Build Virtual Reality (VR) Arena
Design VR program
Record and measure fly wing motion
Create VR to dynamically adjust to fly intended motion
Create VR routine for subject to fly through
Second Priority Objectives
Consider easier way to tether flies
Design using one projector and system of mirrors to reduce budget
Other Constraints and Issues
Assembly parts must be purchasable with little custom fabrication
VR adjustment must be in real time
WOW Design Solution
Provide system of rewards and punishments to experiment fly conditioning
Allow flies to turn in roll, pitch, and yaw directional angles but still remain fixed in position
Risk Reduction Strategy
Design VR arena with Solidworks CAD
Reduce computational speed with GPU and calculate lag for quality check
Calibrate camera focal length for optimal view of region of interest (ROI)
Intermediate Milestones
Identifying meaningful intermediate milestones is a critical for effective project management. Together with your sponsor identify such milestones, and specify specific performance requirements you aim to meet at each milestone.
