One month is about to past and I feel like we are gradually grasping the concept of Augmented Reality. We have got out of the "omg this is so difficult, I am so uncomfortable with this" stage, and of course we did have our light-bulb moments exploring different kinds of software and the machine - Vuforia Studio, Inventor, Creo Illustrate, CNC Milling Machine. After our trip to the CNC Milling Machine workshop, I went back home to re-watch the videos that I took when Mr. Poh [Our TSO], was showing us the steps to cut the workpiece. There were absolutely too many steps to comprehend... AND THIS IS JUST THE BASE OF THE WORKPIECE - HALF OF THE BASE. So, I made a consultation with Mr. Poh, to clarify my doubts. Hence, I decided to use a sketchbook, to help my team members & I to better visualize the sequence of steps.
Other than just focusing on the CNC Milling Machine, we were also experimenting with audio in Vuforia Studio. First, we tried to put the audio into Vuforia Studio, then we had to manually PLAY or PAUSE the audio. After that we tried it with the Thingmark and a 3D model - once it detects the Thingsmark/3D Model, the audio will start playing. One discovery that we found is that there is a bug in android devices whereby, we were unable to press the audio panel to play or pause the audio.
With all the experiments and work we had done, we have to present it to our supervisor. For our very first presentation, I am honestly feeling a little nervous. So our presentation would be what we have done for the past 3 weeks - Research, Vuforia Studio, Creo Illustrate, Inventor, AutoCAD, CNC Milling Machine. I hope our supervisor would not be disappointed, and nonetheless, giving us critical feedback on what we can improve on!
With that, I will see you next week. ;-D
