Our project has shifted focus away from the original idea; rather than using RFID to read cards and CV to read chips to make information easier to use, we are trying to create a table which speeds up the game through usability. This involves creating a system that automatically goes through the players in the order of the game and tracks their actions and bets during each round, allowing the dealer to have an easier time running the game. We dropped the RFID idea and instead are opting for a camera that sweeps through the table, stopping at each player’s position to read stacks and bets along the way. The plan is to display information such as pot size and player’s stack size that are available to users on online/virtual poker in real life poker. While changes are expected to happen as we go along, we feel our current objective is much more exciting and useful than our previous one.
Brandon’s Status Report: 02/19/21
So far, I have mostly been looking for parts and ideas on how to design the system this week. Since we shifted focus away from the original idea, which used RFID, I have been more focused on looking at cameras and motors, along with power supplies, for the device. While I expect changes to happen as we go along, given how our last idea shifted focus away from reading cards to more of a ease-of-use service device, I think these parts will stay pretty constant to any iteration of this project from here on.
