156B Week 6 - Team 6 - Gaze Glasses Pupil Eye Tracker

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • CAD designs are almost solidified, excluding glasses arm mount clip.

  • Prototyping and fabrication are in process.

  • Decided to go with LI-OV camera because fits criteria for gooseneck tubing weight load.

  • Staying well below given budget.

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Began CAD designs for eye camera, glasses arm mount, and world camera mount.

  • General final design of eye camera holder. 

  • Fabrication and testing of parts.

  • Reached Gooseneck tubing company to get free samples, and given lots of information / suggestions. <-- Best news all week.

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • Fully solidified CAD model of over all design. (Paul, John, and Irving)

  • Full prototyped version of design done week 7 or beginning of week 8. (Team)

  • Troubleshoot program to work with our laptops and computers. (Kent)

  • Find possible view camera or lens with 120° field of view. (Kent and Irving)

  • Meet some of the kids that will be using our Gaze Glasses to get their input. (Team - 2/14/14)

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • Did not meet with sponsors last week.

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments  (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • Met with Isaiah to go over design ideas, and how to properly set up CAD drawing for the 3D printing. (1/11/14)

  • Meeting with Isaiah to go over arm mount designs, and what material are best to use. (1/13/14)

Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • Use counter weight on other side of glasses to balance out overall weight. (2/6/14)

  • A possible solution design to mount the arm piece onto different sizes. (2/10/14)

  • Helped with design of eye camera mount. (Max Nelson-Gal - 2/10/14)

Risks and Areas of Concern

• • Hiding USB cables. It is not possible to use thick enough Gooseneck to hide wire because the Gooseneck would be too heavy to put onto glasses.

  • IR light passing through the lenses of the glasses.

  • Making a universal arm mount clip to fit varying size glasses arms.

Resources or Information Required but not Available

• • Specification sheet of the LI-OV camera that actually shows dimensions of the camera.

Schedule

• • Hopefully have a full functioning prototype by end of next week.

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)

• • Amount spent: $737.77

  • Amount left: $4762.23

Progress on Report and Webpage

• • Finished first draft of the report and webpage, and waiting on feedback from professor and TA.
