This week I 3D printed 2 versions of the platform jack design we settled on last week. The first print didn’t work because supports were included inside the platform jack causing the components to be fused together. The second print worked as intended.
Further research was also done by me into using openCV to perform landmark detection on a video stream. A basic tutorial was followed but I had trouble getting all the dependencies configured correctly on my machine.
Further brainstorming was done on how exactly the computer stand will have the necessary information to adjust height and pitch. The method I settled on was having a calibration stage where distances between landmarks on the face are measured. Then when the user lifts his/her head up, the computer stand will adjust until the distances between landmarks are the same as in the calibration stage.
