This week, our team primarily focused on preparing for the Design Review Presentation and refining various aspects of our project’s implementation beforehand. We finalized the GitHub repository setup, installed necessary dependencies, and began initial coding for both the computer vision and physics simulation components. Additionally, we made key decisions regarding hardware selection, including researching projector options and materials for mounting the overhead camera.
Samuel focused on the physics simulation setup, setting up the GitHub repository and installing the required dependencies. He also contributed significantly to the Design Review Presentation slides and written report. Moving forward, his main priority will be coding the physics simulation, particularly shot simulation and best shot selection. Next week, his availability will be slightly limited due to exams, but he plans to dedicate spring break to making significant progress on the project.
Luke concentrated on preparing for the Design Review Presentation and researching the materials for the camera/projector mount. He also narrowed down the projector selection to two options (Yaber V6 and ViewSonic PA503W), weighing factors such as keystone correction and input lag. His next steps involve ordering the necessary materials for the frame, assembling the mount, and assisting Samuel with the shot simulation algorithm. While he faced a slight delay due to the pool table not arriving yet, he expects to catch up next week as he has more time to focus on the project.
Kevin worked on finalizing his section for the Design Review Presentation and collaborated with Samuel to set up the repository and integrate dependencies. His upcoming focus is on coding and optimizing data extraction to support the post-processing physics simulation. He remains on track and is coordinating with Samuel and Luke to ensure smooth integration between components.
Overall, our team is making steady progress despite minor delays related to hardware availability and course pressure. In the upcoming weeks, we will finalize the design report, begin full integration, and start assembling the physical components of the system. We remain on schedule and will continue refining our implementation while preparing for the next project milestone.
