This week our team worked on preparing for the interim demo, which is the week after the next. We all have individual tasks to finish, but have also begun work on integrating those tasks.
Shravya began this week with MIDI-parsing code that was capable of accurately parsing simpler compositions (by integrating and cross-verifying with Fiona’s MIDI compositions), and since then has identified some edge cases. These include handling rest-notes (which she has successfully been able to resolve) as well as overlapping notes (which she is still working on). She worked with Peter to ensure that all components of the solenoid control circuitry are functioning properly.
Fiona worked more on debugging the code to make MIDI files. She also worked on some other miscellaneous tasks (see report).
We are conversing with Marios Savvides and Magesh Kannan who are CV + eye-tracking biometrics experts referred by Professor Bain for guidance on our eye-tracking system.
Right now, our biggest risk as the interim demo approaches is that we discover issues while integrating the eye-tracking, the application and the physical hardware. We are hopefully well-prepared for this, because we have been working to coordinate along the way.
