This week, I focused on setting up the user interface (UI) and preparing everything needed to start coding. I spent time looking at UIs from makeup and glasses apps like YouCam Makeup, which helped me get an idea of what the UI should look like. I also checked out some tutorials for Dear ImGui to understand how to implement the UI elements.
Steven shared the GitHub repo with the ImGui backend set up, so I just need to call the library functions in the code to create the UI elements. However, I’ve been having some trouble with generating build files and running the build process. Steven is helping me troubleshoot, and we’re hoping to get everything set up so I can start coding the UI on Monday.
Another part of the project I’m responsible for is the motorized camera control system. I ordered the parts last week, so I’m still waiting for them to arrive. Once I get the parts, I can start assembling and programming the system.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I’m a little behind schedule due to the delays in receiving the parts for the motorized camera control system and the issues I’ve had with building the Dear ImGui project. That said, I’ve been working closely with Steven to resolve the build problems, and I expect to be able to move forward with coding the UI soon. To catch up, I’ll focus on fixing the build issue and getting everything set up so I can start coding the UI by next week. Once the camera control system parts arrive, I’ll focus on assembling and programming it, so I stay on track with both tasks.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I hope to begin assembling the motorized camera control system and start the initial programming once the parts arrive. I also hope to begin coding the UI elements (like the camera angle and filter menus) using Dear ImGui, starting with the basic UI elements and getting them integrated into the project.
