What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
I finished up the generative mode mapping so it efficiently detects whether a pattern that we have defined was triggered by the user. The patterns can be any length and we can determine what to play based on them – this is where Lance’s work will come in. I also worked on creating a transition between the modes, so the user can go from the note-playing mode to the generative mode by signaling in a box on the bottom.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I am on schedule.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
Next week, I am working on providing visual feedback to the user that tells them whether they need to come closer to the camera or stand farther back. Based on feedback from our meeting on Wednesday, I am also planning on trying to switch the detection to use symbols instead of colors so that there is not as much issue with picking up background color and it is also easier for people to use it no matter what color they are wearing.
