Final - 2 week mark
Final project notes:
Baby steps/Phases
1. enclosure
2. hollogram
3. hand detection
4. videos of creature (or maybe animation)
5. max/msp/jitter
Failures
0. plate glass
1. projection
2. mirrors (spherical/regular flat)
3. IR sensors in the 10 - 80 cm range
Status
1. New setup using a PC monitor
2. 45 degree angled plexi
Problems
1. Detection mechanism: setup isn't accurate enough!!!
Proposed Compromise: will probably use Video Tracking (pcomp book) + IR in the back end.
2. Interaction w/ the creature: where hands enter in a realistic manner
Proposed Compromise: Black cloth, sleeves, no gloves :)
