Week 1 Lab session

01/02/2019 Today We started the first lab session of our 5 weeks project. Our year two project is augmented reality interactive sandbox which recreates the topography surface with real sand and enables users to reshape the terrain with an integrated Xbox Kinect and short-throw projector. Our goal is to design a fun educational game along with the sandbox. The theory behind the sandbox is a projector is used to create a topical representation on top of the sand. By utilizing the depth camera, the height of the sand is recognized and any changes are instantaneously identified and reshaped. Then the projector will adjust to the changes accordingly.  The Augmented Reality Interactive Sandbox is a new way of engaging students in visual learning by providing an interactive platform. This project is a way of inspiring young engineers though not only interacting but building the sandbox,giving them hands-on experience to the typical classroom env...

Week 2 Lab session

07/02/2019 Today is the second session of the five-week-long project. In today's session, we continue to focus on installing the necessary drivers on the computer and making changes to the sandbox. In our last meeting, we decided using compressed air to relevel the sand is hazardous for the reason that as the compressed air could burst the pipes and potentially injure someone if not correctly implemented. Therefore we removed the pipes from the sandbox. we needed a computer and a display to interact with the Xbox Kinect and projector, so we have borrowed the display computer from the 4th floor and use it as our main computer and interface between users and the computer. we successfully ran the game on the computer with the projector and Xbox Kinect without running in problems. Our plan for next week is when the play sand and new projector we ordered arrived, we would be able to have a better look at the sandbox in its final stage a...

Poster design process

First of all, we started off research about how to create a poster that is informative and professional while keeping it aesthetically pleasing to the eye. we sketched down some ideas and we talked about the pros and cons but after a long discussion we settled on this layout of the poster, We chose this layout because this is colorful so it is eye-catching. While keeping it nice and distinctive, it also keeps each section nice and tidy as we have lots of material to go over hence it is useful to have each section separated in an organized fashion. We had drafted many posters and contemplate how to phrase our paragraphs and keep it straight forward and entertaining. We want to utilize all the space on the poster. Although A1 size should be large enough for all the split sections, it is still challenging to keep the theory behind the sandbox straight forward and uncomplicated with matching images. We will have a QR code that brings th...
