This week, I put most of my effort into working on the presentation, specifically most of the image quality requirements and defining the metrics for latency and performance of the system. I have a strong background in digital photography, and I was able to provide that knowledge to the team by defining concrete metrics for how we can test and measure image quality and sharpness as we apply filters and set up the cameras. I also know a fair bit about displays and framerates, so I was able to apply my knowledge to defining requirements for frame stability and pacing. My progress is on schedule, as my group and I are nearly finished with our proposal and are preparing to present this upcoming week. This next week, I hope to help Grace give the presentation and begin ordering the materials so we can start construction of the HoloPyramid soon after.

Team Status Report for 2-20-21
This week, our group worked on creating our proposal presentation for our project. We’ve met several times both inside and outside of our mandatory lab time to discuss the content of the proposal, work on it as a group, and get feedback from the professors. Through this, we were able to come up with a concrete schedule and plan out our task list as seen below. Some of the biggest challenges we’ve had to face this week have been fleshing out some of the smaller details of our project, including the choice of hardware (FPGA vs Pi), the size of the projection, and how to quantitatively measure visual quality and sharpness. Through researching answers to these, we have been able to better understand both our project idea and our proposal itself. Going forward, we expect our next biggest challenge to be choosing the specific hardware we want to use to build our pyramid.
