2010-9-16 Minute

Venue: CM lab
Time: 5:30pm-8:45pm
Attendees : Eric , Karina
Recorded by: Eric



Minute:
A: Report what we did
Karina was testing Openframeworks in PC, eRic was testing Openframeworks in Mac
We both searched exist libraries of openframeworks for our interactive part.

B: Discussion
1.     Links of libraries (importance in order)
      a.        http://wiki.openframeworks.cc/index.php?title=Color_Tracking             
                  Color Tracking
      b.        http://addons.openframeworks.cc/projects/show/ofxmidiin  
                  Midi input and output
      c.        http://code.google.com/p/ofxsndobj/       
                  SOUND-
      d.        http://addons.openframeworks.cc/projects/show/ofxfiducialfinder      
                  COMPUTER VISION / VIDEO
      e.        http://code.google.com/p/ofxsqlite/         
                  Database


2.     Fog machine
      a.      Based on our previously research fog generators, there are 3 types of them:
                                            i.      Ultrasonic
                                            ii.      Chemical
                                            iii.      Dry Ice/Carbon Dioxide

            We found out some drawback of the Chemical fog generator. Some  asthma patients/people may suffer from it because of chemicals. So we still need further discuss and research.

      REMARKS:
           We needs the fog is:
                    Stable,
                    High density,

      b.     New problems come out.
                 i.      What our SCALE of our performance is. It affects what machine should us buy, thus different amount of money is needed.

3.     Proposal
      a.      Deadline we know is 18-29th Oct 2010.
      b.     We have done more than half of proposal. YES!!
      c.      We still need to improve or make it detail:
                                            i.      Project Schedule
                                            ii.      Project Description
                                            iii.      Equipment list
                                            iv.      Project plan
                                            v.      Proposed testing
                                            vi.      references

C: Things we going to do in this week:
          Further research and libraries testing about Color Tracking and Midi Input/ Output.

D: next meeting:
          24th Sep 2010, 4:30pm
