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 4 Lab Session

22/02//2019 This is week 4 of five-weeks long project. Last week, we requested a stand for the projector and kinect hence the mechanic came in and took the measurement of the sandbox. The new stand has arrived this week and we immediately equipped it with a new projector and Kinect . It has more flexibility than the tripod we had before. the Xbox Kinect is positioned right above the sandbox and centered so that it can detect every point in the box so it will prevent blind spot. We adjusted the position of the sandbox so the image the projector produce fills the entire sandbox. Measuring and getting the optimal distance between the sensor and the sandbox. The left image shows the process of calibration which is required to prepare an image (in our case a continuous live image capture) for subsequent data extraction and analysis, fixes tiny defects in the camera sensor or an optical system. Meanwhile, the projector is running some calibration test pattern...
