TIMELINE | Datamirror

● Week 1:

Idea construction: visited Whitney Museum of American Art and inspired by artworks of Casey Reas

● Week 2:

Proposal construction: Data Mirror

Suggestion from class discussion: combine Data Mirror with identity identification (through hair color, skin color, eye color if possible)

● Week 3:

Timeline construction: organize my ideas and combine my proposal with comments from week 2 discussion

Research about how to use OpenCV to visualize the sense that being captured

● Week 4:

Solve the problem of using OpenCV to imitate the vision of machine when observing human beings

Borrow materials that may need for projecting my project

● Week 5:

Try Project the current project to a wall

Adjust the frame size, color, and texture that being transformed by the computer

● Week 6:

Research about color identification

Add in to the project

● Week 7:

Adjust color identification

Borrow the materials that need for projection

● Week 8:

Project the current project to a wall

Adjust the color identification and see what needs to be changed

● Week 9:

Research about texture identification

Try to combine color identification with texture identification

Week 10:

Adjust the project and try to project it

Week 11:

...

Week 12:
- Changing the captured scenes into color lump and then have pixy detect the color lump will make the detection easier
- avoid mistaken detection and avoid people moving around and leads to detection on wrong object eg: teeth lip eye
Week 13:
- Having the print-out text in serial monitor print out on the main screen
Week 14:
- Adding Sound (will not be original, think about find a sound from black mirror)
- Adjust the project with projector at home
- Adjust the RGB, size of the main screen, camera distance, etc.
Week 15:
- Adding small elements to make the project more sci-fi
- Due
