Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
We have begun to choose and purchase desired camera modules that will meet our design criteria while maintaining a small profile for the device.
The camera modules we purchased have the ability to stream in HD or up to 60fps with USB connection.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
We have agreed upon a single design concept that will satisfy the desired functions, glasses clip-ons.
Several steps have been taken to get into contact with possible vendors and suppliers for the key components that will power our device.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
The next step in the design process is to create a CAD design that will meet the requirement and standards we are trying to accomplish.
In order to maintain a compact form factor a PCB design is in the works to ensure the device has a sleek profile.
Receive and test cameras.
Go over and learn current Gaze Glasses program with our sponsors.
Find a basis set of glasses to design around.

Instead of choosing one set of glasses and adapt mounting clips to that one glasses, create an adjustable mounting clip with set screws so to be able to use it on multiple frame sizes (Possible Delrin screw for hygienic purposes).
They would like to have 10 set of the glasses, but are going to make more.
Affirmed that the eye is 60fps and view 30fps.
The color of the frame is import because they would like to use the Gaze Glasses with CERT (facial emotion/movement recognition system). The glasses must be a light color, transparent, in order to recognize eyebrows.
We will be put into contact with someone who sells glasses in order to gain information in price and spacing.

Estimate how many they would need to make.
Consider using cameras for Arduino and Rasberry Pie.
That woe should make it our primary goal to create glasses clip on pieces instead of adjustable head sets.
Talked to Steve Roberts about printing circuit boards.
Talked to Chris Cassidy about 3D printers, and what printers are available to us.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Internal memory, to save video and extract later for analysis.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Affordable cameras and boards that fit in the size restriction and to stay as near $100 per Gaze Glasses as possible. <- This price range may be very unlikely.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Have cameras to test.
Begin final design, and CAD design.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
About $400; parts are being ordered;
Progress on Report and Webpage
No progress as of now, but will start this weekend.
