Engineering Projects/InteractiveSystem

Idea edit

To design a system that using a camera, a computer, software and a projector that projects imaging that is reactive to human movement.

Goals edit

Projects are broken up into subsystems. Each project proceeds on a different path, with different milestones within the conceive, design, implement and operate framework. This should contain links to subsystems and a discussion of the pitfalls to expect, the best practice project process path in each subsystem.

The goal is to provide framework to capture the information associated with huge problems. A quadcopter project may be split up into vision systems, motor control systems, power, air frames, gryo/accelarometer software, copter GPS, target GPS, communication systems, fail safe systems, testing apparatus, etc. The cardboard boat project could be splitup into quickly built boats, racing boats, themed boats, dramatic sinking boats, battle boats, etc.

Tutorials edit

This section lists tutorials for those that to learn only what is needed to push a project forward. Tutorials are typically about tools. There are tutorials with different starting points, but the same ending point: enough technical competency to begin working on an aspect of a particular project. So many tutorials may be unique to a project. Other tutorials may be shared by many projects. This is why they are in article space, not stubs of existing projects.

Current Status edit

The goal here is to provide links to individual team pages, or summarize the success of various teams with links to pages describing how they did it so others can repeat, improve or extend.
