Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
We decided not to use LI-OV7725-USB-72 eye camera due to its large size and partially obstructing user's view.
Decided to use Microsoft LifeCam HD 6000, which is the current world camera. Therefore, both the world and eye camera will be Microsoft LifeCam HD 6000.
Design of eye camera and world camera mount are finished are in the process of being printed.
Have overall final design; just waiting on testing to see if it needs tweaking.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Finished CAD design of all necessary parts: world camera mount, eye camera clip-on mechanism, eye camera mount.
Obtained several commercialized glass frames for different head sizes.
On queue to have parts 3D printed.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Get majority of parts in by end of week 7 to begin assembly (John and Irving).
Test prototype with PUPIL eye tracking program (Kent).
Make necessary adjustment depending on test results (Paul and Kent).
Purchase thinner gauged USB wire. (Irving)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Do not have make mount adjustable for different sized glasses, on adjustable for one type of glasses.
Current eye camera is too large and obstructs user's range of vision. May distract children using glasses. (2/14/2014, in person).
Actions Taken:
Decided to replace the LI-OV7725-USB-72 camera with Microsoft LifeCam HD 6000.
USB cables causing too much issue due to its overall weight contribution. (2/14/2014, in person).
Actions Taken:
Strip the USB cable until only wires remain and use shrink wrap.
Other option is smaller gauged wire.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Heat shrink tubing for gooseneck mechanism to help hide wires (2/13/2014, in person).
Designing a lens mount for 120 degree Field of View (2/13/2014, in person).
Clip-on idea: two L-bracket design (2/13/2014, in person).
Finished CAD design of eye camera clip-on design, and is process to be printed.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
None as of (2/13/2014 - 2/20/2014)
Risks and Areas of Concern
Unsure when Gooseneck Tubing will be shipped in, and then testing to make sure adaptable with headset.
If having two identical cameras requires some program adjustments to function.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
We are going to call the company that is sending us the Gooseneck Tubing so see if there are any tracking information or when its estimated to be delivered.
Schedule
Have most, if not all major, parts in by end of week 7 or beginning of week 8.
If parts are in, begin assembly and testing by end of week 7 or beginning of week 8.
Look to see if we can find mass produced 120 deg camera no later than the end of week 7.
Have full assembly by 2/26/14.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Spent: $861.22
Current Balance: $4638.78
Progress on Report and Webpage
Report going through major renovation.
Uploaded final design information on webpage.
Update report and website with CAD models and live imaging.
