After these past two weeks, the project’s end has definitely been coming into sight. The week following this should be just finishing up some final things and getting some pictures. At the beginning of this period. I finished the final “tailoring” things with the clothes. In terms of the Leo outfit, I cut the dress’s…

We made a lot of progress the past two week. The largest problem we encountered was the smaller than expected range the IR sensor worked in. After testing with sensor using IR emitters at various distances, we realized that the circular area it allowed the users to interact in was only around 1 ft in…

These past two weeks, I have really been working to fix all the main aspects that needed work on my project. Unfortunately, I hit a lot of obstacles. First, the measurements for my lamp parts were not entirely precise, so I had to re-cut a few of the parts…multiple times. The store in which I…

The past two weeks I had two photo shoots, with variable levels of success. The first shoot, my friend and I went back to Lincoln Woods in Rhode Island and tried to get in as many pictures as possible before getting kicked out. There were quite a few people there so we definitely got a…

The project is coming together, but still a lot of polishing to be done. I haven’t been able to get time on a laser cutter to make the final cuts on my acrylic, and I am still deciding on a centerpiece. Aside from these two finishing details, I have created a replica of the final…

I took a bunch of more photos this week in the lab space we have in the basement of Fuller. That space worked out much better than the space we had been using before. I tried to use the Global Lab to take photos, but after looking at it, it’s much smaller than I anticipated….

This week, I identified and fixed 3 shortcomings with my approaches. My work is coming along quickly with new streamlined processes for scheduling photoshoots, editing photos, and editing/saving the modified GIFs with my software. A detailed description of each of these resolutions is available in the link below! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QyeqJePoxh1GwYGi3zXanLE5LW5rLwXYdrBSs8KMNME/edit?usp=sharing

This week I continued my testing and gathered more of my final materials. I made a trip to Home Depot, where I bought acrylic, wire, and black spray paint. I still need to decide on and purchase LEDs/LED strips, but most of my components are now together. My first test was to try edge-lighting the…

Due to time constraints this week (mostly due to not being on campus the entire weekend), I was not able to make as much progress as I would have liked. However, I did almost entirely complete the structure of the cloud and will soon be mounting the LEDs. I also have testing code ready to…
