My Tabletop Done...

Wow...Finally...I just get my wooden cabinet from Mr. Carpenter. It's look so nice and solid. However, it really cost me. RM 430 after discount. It's ok as long as I get to present my project nicely on it. Besides, I get it free for the acrylic glass. The cabinet was being dismantled after uncle teach me the way to set up the cabinet so that it will be easy for me to bring it to college. It is very easy to set up the cabinet with electronic hand drill. So, the next thing I need to do is to write a request letter to the college in order to get the permission to storage my tabletop at IIS. It will be more convenient for me when doing my test out at IIS instead of keep dismantle the cabinet every time.

Finally...It's work...

Oh my god..It's work. The scripting is workable now. After received the mail from Sweii, I experiment with the source given and it fail at the first time. The flash file couldn't loaded by Adobe Flash CS4 and it solved after figured out that it is actually needed Adobe Flash CS5 to open the file. Meanwhile, the scripting for animation play was solved after discussing with Yi wei. The animation gets to play after a fiducial marker tracked. Now, the things I need to do is finish all my animation and finish the marker tracking scripting.
Successful Connected!!

Scripting Found!!!

I was trying out some scripting sources I researched before but it was unsuccessfully. One of the problems that occurred is Flosc fail to connect with Adobe flash. Been trying out for many times and it is still unsolved. However, there is good news I get from Sweii yesterday through email. She told me that Karen found a source that can be used for my project and it is succesful attempt by Yiwei in terms of connecting and sending the signal/data from camera to flash. It's was such a extreme good news for me. It is using CCV and UDP-Flashlc-Bridge to send the data to flash where CCV and UDP-Flashlc-Bridge need to be run at  the same time in order to successfully connected together. Hope it work.

Meet Mr. Carpenter...

One and a half month left to the deadline. It is time to send my mechanism for construction. I was meeting up with my father's friend who is a carpenter that been responsible in designing and constructing all the cabinet for my house. I brought the mechanism plan together and explained to him the actual size of cabinet I need for my tangible interface tabletop. There's no problem in constructing the cabinet but uncle told me that I might need to find the acrylic glass by myself because it is quite expensive to cut a small piece of acrylic glass. He also suggested me to get the acrylic glass from advertising company. Luckily, I have a relative who work at advertising company and he said he could get a piece for me.
