Hanning’s Status Report for October 4

This week I found and fixed the “mobile can’t open HTML” issue by serving the page from a local host on my laptop and connecting to it from a phone on the same Wi-Fi (instead of file://). I verified that modules load correctly and that camera permission works when accessed via a real origin, documenting the steps (bind to 0.0.0.0, visit http://<LAN-IP>:<port> or use HTTPS/tunnel when needed). I completed a basic text editor under the camera preview: independent <textarea> wired with helper APIs (insertText, pressKey, focusEditor) . I also began research on autocorrection methods, found lightweight approaches (rule-based edits, edit-distance/keyboard adjacency, and small n-gram/LM strategies) and noting how we can plug them into the editor’s input path.
I’m on schedule. Next week, I plan to display a calibration instruction panel on the webpage and push the autocorrection prototype further. There is also a slight change of my schedule—originally calibration instructions were slated for this week and the editor for next week, but I swapped them to align with my teammates’ timelines.

Yilei’s Status Report for October 4

This week, I replaced the placeholder trapezoid with a QWERTY keyboard overlay, corrected calibration so the left and right index fingertips land exactly on the F/J key centers, ensured the video is mirrored but the labels are not, set the keyboard to the correct orientation relative to our intended hand orientation, and added a 10-second calibration window that automatically freezes the keyboard, with a recalibrate button to restart (the timer only counts down when it’s seeing both hands). 

I’m on schedule. I have made progress on calibration, defining the keyboard’s size and position from fingertip separation, and the AR overlay. 

Next week, I plan to add the remaining keys (number row, punctuation, and Shift, Enter, and Space), introduce tilt-aware horizontal and vertical scaling based on a fixed keyboard tilt (moving from “looks like perspective” to a consistent homography), and work on the image keyboard mapping (imagePointToKey function).
