Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Headset redesigned to use two gooseneck mounts instead of using a front camera clip.
Camera mounts 3D mounted. These need minor revisions.
Gooseneck tubing mounted onto glasses.
Gooseneck tubing supports the weight of the cameras.
Both cameras functioning.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
The headset has been redesigned to use a gooseneck mount to support the front facing camera. This circumvents the mounting issues onto the glasses clips which have unknown chemical makeup.
New iteration of 3D printed mounts have been attached onto test glasses.
IR LEDs have been soldered onto cameras
IR lights have been successfully tested for use through glasses lenses.
USB wires have been tested to see whether the camera operates without aluminum shielding. The camera was found to malfunction without proper wiring.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Send new parts for 3D printing (Paul)
Mold ergonomic add-ons to frames using off-the-shelf putty (Kent)
Order more gooseneck tubing for additional models and as a sample for the sponsors to use (Irving)
Find wiring solutions that do not cause the cameras to malfunction (Seunghyo)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
The sponsors indicated that stable camera position was of the utmost importance. The gooseneck and the mounts have been tested for stability while the headset was worn. (2/21, in person)
The IR lights were to be particularly difficult to solder onto the circuit board. The lights have been successful attached (2/21, in person)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Scene camera clip needed to be tested to see if it would hold the mount for the camera. This issue has been circumvented by removal of the clips from the design, opting for tube mounting onto the temples of the glasses frames. (2/20, in person)
USB wires needed to be tested. Through preliminary test, the wires seem to only work with original wire. This is a secondary objective. Different types of wiring solutions will be explored, time permitting. (2/20, in person)
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Students have suggested a counterweight near the back of the frames to counteract the load acting on the front of the glasses, particularly on the bridge. While we did not choose to use a counterweight, we have used the remaing portions of the gooseneck tubing to act as supporting hooks, alleviating the stress on the nose.
Risks and Areas of Concern
USB wire swapping has yet to pass testing.
3D printing final iteration may be delayed by 3D printing queue.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Finish final design prototype (3/2)
Finish documentation for sponsors (3/3)
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Progress on Report and Webpage
Report has been revised to be more cohesive. Currently undergoing more revision as project progresses.
Website has been updated.
