Hello NeRdS!!!!!!
Let’s recap what we’ve done so far
- Splash Screen
- Purpose Page
- Workpiece Detection - Explosion
- Home Page
- Tool Page
- Start Project
- Text-to-Speech function
- Loading Bar
So next, after setting and starting up the machine. We need to work on our Tool Change & Set Up - Tool 1
Before we start doing that, we wanted to experiment with the workstation idea that Mr David, our supervisor suggested to us. Whereby we align all the tools needed by the user - so as to avoid the user misplacing tools.
We took about 1-2 day to do some research, and CAD-ing ALL the tools out. And we concluded that, we’ll detect a thingmark - and the workstation pops up! As for the workstation itself, we tried putting a “ table top” as the base, and outlining the different tools on the table top.

However, after testing out that idea, I felt that it would be very hard for the user to see as it is just the outlines of the tools- they all look similar to one another.
But, on the Wednesday 17th October 2018. Our supervisor nudged us if our group wanted to take part in the Engineering Show - whereby different projects will be showcased for the industrial companies. Initially we weren’t very interested, as I was afraid that we wouldn’t have much to show, as the beginning of our project/application is mostly 2D animations and not much AR involved.
After some consideration, our group decided to take part in it! SOOOOOOOO, we had to drop whatever we had on hand - the workstation. And prepare presentation slides, making sure our application is working smoothly, tools are able to detect, etc. We had to take videos in case the application doesn’t work during the presentation ON FRIDAY, 19 OCTOBER 2018! BASICALLY, we had only 1 day to SETTLE EVERYTHING! WE WILL ALL srsly VERY STRESSED OUT!!!!!
We had DETECTION PROBLEMS with the Tool 1-3,
but we went down to the workshop to try detecting with the real tool, it comes out real fast! I SWEAR Vuforia Studio’s detection trains your patience level.
We also wanted to attend the EXPO event - Industrial Transformation Asia-Pacific (ITAP) 16-18 Oct’18. But, we were unable to, because we had to rush for the engineering show presentation! :( very sads
BUT ITS OKAY! The presentation on Friday, was OKAY???? (meh) I could’ve done better obviously. My voice was literally shaking from the start till the end........ I guess we will have to wait for the results to see if we’re selected for Engineering Show 2019!!!!!!! *fingers crossed*
WE will keep u updated NEXT WEEK! see you soon!!!!
