Karen’s Status Report for April 1

  • What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or
    photos that demonstrate your progress.

This week I worked with Oscar to get the hand tracking module integrated with the synthesizer. So far we were able to get the two components working together, although it is slightly slower than expected. We are still working on trying to improve the speed.

  • Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be
    taken to catch up to the project schedule.

I think my progress is slightly behind because some integration work are not working as intended, and I did not have much time last week due to exams. I am working on this class most of the week next week.

  • What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

Next week I will try to get the gesture recognition section of the software to work properly and try to get it working together with the gesture mapping section. In addition I will work with Oscar to get the synthesizer-gesture recognition system to work faster.

Oscar’s Status Report for April 1

  • What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or
    photos that demonstrate your progress.

I merged most of my repo with Karen’s. Right now, our program uses the index finger’s horizontal position to determine the pitch and the vertical position to determine the volume. I haven’t integrated the code I wrote for communicating with the gyroscope chip yet because of our performance issue. Right now, tracking and playing notes simultaneously is a little laggy. Here’s a demo video.

  • Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be
    taken to catch up with the project schedule.

I am a little behind schedule this week. I was expecting to merge all of our code bases together. I will be working extra time tomorrow (Apr 2nd) to reduce the lag and integrate the serial communication part into our code base.

  • What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

Next week, I hope to integrate the radio transmission part into our system.
