This week I aided in refining the final CAD model for the Dawggles. The goggle design took priority over software because we are more concerned with having to tweak and iterate the physical design until the print is right. I also helped to start the print at the end of the week so that we will have a first version of the physical design to test next week.
Along with this, I spent a significant amount of time completing the Ethics Assignment. I feel like the second part of this assignment renewed motivation for the goggles to be comfortable. One thing we are concerned about is external light passing through the biconvex lens. For this reason, we modified the roof part of the goggles so that the OLED wires escape from the side, allowing us to put a full roof on top to block external light.
Overall, we are still pretty much on schedule. Next week I plan on helping assemble the Dawggles and testing the hardware–primarily for testing the display and ensuring it is a comfortable experience.
