Project meeting 1


The objective of the first project meeting is to give the proposal for my idea, and discuss the issues that could come up, attempting to resolve them and put me on my way to starting my project.

Objective of meeting : Project proposal

During the meeting I discussed some Ideas that I have had for my major project.
Ideas I discussed were for a 3D touch-less interface that would control an interactive artefact, like those seen at museums or at conventions. The aim of the project was to use what I had learned from my research to create a touch-less interface that I would use to control the mouse, and thus control what the user can see on-screen.

I also discussed my second idea which was to create an image editing website, that offered more than what is currently out there, like allowing the user to modify the images to a greater extent than just changing colour levels and filters.

From this we further discussed the aims of my project and focused on my original idea, after I explained that the image editing website, was merely an idea that I thought worth mentioning.

Issues relating to the first Idea were :

  • Hardware required for project
  • Complexity of project
  • End purpose for Idea
  • Expand Idea and research.

Hardware - What do I need to make it?

One of the main things needed to create my touchless interface is an Arduino, which is a single-board microcontroller which is used for creating electronic projects and making them more manageable and accessible to the likes of artists and media developers.

The arduino required is the UNO, which can be used in various ways, one of which is detecting electronic signals, which I will use in my project, and go into further in another post.

The complexity of the project was also discussed. What am I going to make, and can it be better.
The idea of just using the piece of hardware was also discussed, what would the user be doing, what will it do?

The end purpose of the Idea. What will the user get out of using it? What will it finally do and does it serve a purpose?

All these things taken into consideration I will expand on my research and start looking for alternate ways in which my idea can expand.
