Design and Engineering
Actually it has been a really long time since I posted last. Expect to see a bunch of updates and some post format changes soon! I have some exciting projects, some pictures of nice cars I have gotten to work on, and some pictures of the house I am living in.
I have been working on some Augmented Reality projects for a museum tour giving robot recently. I came up with an idea to make Black on Black retroflective vinyl decals for navigation. These have the advantage of being visually unobtrusive in a museum environment. They seem to work pretty well too, when using an IR camera with IR illumination they are by far the brightest things in the room (to the camera at least).
I also think that for people placing qr codes near art pieces could greatly enhance the museum going experience. Imagine being able to access a wealth of information about a painting and the artist while standing infront of the art piece far beyond the standard caption placed next to a painting. Using a web enabled mobile telephone and Qr codes you could also find out information about other paintings you might like in the museum. I think QR codes have a lot of promise for the museum environment.
Another project has been making a Multi touch display. This could be used in conjunction with a mobile phone and qr codes to setup self guided tours in the museum or for taking a closer look at art pieces.
I have been very busy with school and work, but here are some of the projects I have been working on. I will post some things on the multi touch and augmented reality stuff I have been working on soon.
So here are some projects I have been working on the last month or so.
Concrete Hexagon Speakers
5W white LED dissection
Hand Key duplicating
Titanium Anodizing
Vacuum System for Screen exposure unit
Replacing parts in expensive cars
While unpacking some boxes I found some of my old glass work from around 2002. I decided I should take some pictures. Here they are.
