This week I worked on the following:
- Using OpenCV to track colored LEDS. This used color thresholding and background subtraction algorithms
- Using OpenCV to improve our previous implementation of IR LED tracking, we tried background subtraction tracking LED blinks. Ultimately found that latency was poor with adding these computation steps
- Tried using a WII Remote and existing WII remote libraries like cwiid to track an IR LED. We found that this method had poor accuracy and could only find the IR LED in certain orientations
- Worked on assembling the glove. I researched the schematics we would need to use and helped with connecting the FLORA->mux->haptic motor controllers->motor discs
Progress Status – on schedule
Tasks for next week:
- complete building a functioning Unity Fruit Ninja game
- Use 2D fruits and 2D orientation
- Add Home screen, gameplay screen and end screen
- Use mouse for user input (if possible use our glove tracking system)
