The final stage will also make the processing better, as the white background will eliminate possible background colors that could distract the camera, and the projector will cast a white light on the figure which will provide much better lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are very few items that I will need to purchase for the project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other items that I will need but have yet to find the right source to buy from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some very broad milestones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Week 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n Weeks 2, 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n Week 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n The coding for the project is progressing smoothly! I have set up a simple color tracker that positions and scales a sword based on tracked color. Below you can see a non-filtered image of me, holding a yellow sharpie. Once I click on the sharpie, the sword will attach itself to the color and follow… <\/p>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
