Starting from this past week, I mostly acted in the role of a “Project Manager” for our project as a whole, managing all the tasks that needed to be done and putting a schedule together. This has been made more difficult by our second project pivot from making a dancing game to a dancing coach instead. As a part of that pivot, we decided to scrap our idea of incorporating a haptic feedback device to increase player immersion for our game. Since I had originally been designated the main person responsible for creating this haptic feedback device, I had been mostly conducting research on how I wanted to put this device together, which components to buy, and how the integration could work. Additionally, I had been preparing for our equipment procurement, which was scheduled to happen next week.
Because of our pivot, my efforts will now be redirected towards the CV part of the project. After helping the team create a renewed schedule that reflects our pivot and all the new tasks that need to be done, I’ve started to conduct research in the implementation of Computer Vision, since I’m relatively inexperienced in the field. I will then begin work on processing the input reference video and the webcam video with teammate Akul Singh.
