This week’s progress has been slightly slower than I had expected. I spent some time reacquainting myself with OpenCV and looking at hardware elements we might need for the project. Two examples of good cameras I have found are:
Both meet the technical requirements we placed for the cameras except maybe for power. However, since USB 2.0 is power limited by 0.5 A max, then the theoretical upper bound on the webcam power usage is 2.5 W, which is perfectly acceptable.
Next week, I hope our team can get together and work on the design for representing game state.
