Ok so yesterday i went to bunnings and bought some polly pipe to make the L shape device to go above the frame and look directly down at people as they use our frame. I drilled some holes in it so the cable could be run up the middle of it so it didn't look messy and brought some black spray paint to make it the same colour as our cloth around the frame work. The only foreseeable problem i could think of was the vise grip that the polly pipe was hot glued to then griped to the frame spiny handle thing would get in the way of the projection. But it would only be a small shadow and probably wouldn't matter.
I get to class This morning and find out that Tim cant figure out how to add the animal code and sounds to the activity code I've finished a while back. And it had been decided that the code i have been working on would no longer be used and we would use the 'percent of activity = percent blurred' code we were working early on. This made me a little annoyed since my part of the assignment had been pretty much tossed to one side the day before it was due and the thing i made yesterday useless. So i hoped to continue to finish the code i had started just incase Tim's way didnt work since that code is slightly less reliable hence me doing the code i did, i check online at umart for a 5m firewire cable so it would be long enough for the camera (because there was none to hire out). Saw they were in stock and went to umart to pick up my purchase, after 10mins in line they call my number only to find that they were really out of stock *sigh* so i gave up on making a back up plan for the code and hoped Tim could implement everything in time for class tomorrow.
At this late stage coding is really only a one person job so i went about trying to make myself useful in other ways. I typed up a few paragraphs for the poster that Jo is printing out and helped Jo do testing with the frame. Also i realised that the frame we had built it too large for the door, and window so that anything we did with the mirror and projector would have to be recreated once we take the frame apart and move it into the Lecture room. We didnt have much success filling the frame with the projection but after talking with bonney on the phone came up with some possible solutions which didn't overly work. So we are just gonna have the projection in a majority of the frame with some places being black. The code all works now with the animals and sounds so its just a matter of getting to class tomorrow and hoping that we get the frame, camera, projector and flash all working somewhere in the right direction.
