I need some SOUND EFFECT..

After finished all the animation, now is the time for sound effect adding. So, today I have booked the sound recording studio for my sound effect recording and my classmate, Chun Khong has helped me to record all the sound effect that I need for my project. He is so professional in complete all the recording task without any hesitation. 

Test Out again

Before the tutorial session with the lecturers, I set up everything for the project test out. Again, it fails. CCV couldn't get to detect the fiducial marker. The fiducial marker couldn't clearly capture by PS3 eye. It was so blur. It is because of the lighting? The camera itself? So depressed. What if I couldn't execute the project as proposed previously during the final presentation? During the tutorial, Sweii told me that she will try to ask one of her friends who has experiences in creating tangible interface to has a look on the project. Hope he get to figure out a way to solve the problem.

Mr. Tabletop new house..

Finally I get the approved from the college to storage my cabinet at IIS and today I just set up the cabinet at IIS with the help from my classmates. After set up the cabinet, here comes my first test out on the project. It is really not an easy job to position everything. The distance and position of the mirror that reflected the projected screen on the tabletop is very important. Besides, the position of the PS3 eye is also one of the considered issues in setting up the whole project. The test out was unsuccessful because the camera couldn't capture the fiducial marker on the acrylic and it only worked when the camera being move closely to the fiducial marker. The problem that encounter after moving the camera close to the glass is tracking area being limited. The reflected infrared light on the acrylic glass has causing blind spot are for the marker tracking.

Set up all the equipment for test out 

Test out by positioning every equipment

Keep on working...

There is no tutorial for this week, so I keep on proceed on my animation and scripting part. It is almost done for the animation. There is no big problem for my scripting and hope it won't have anything error occur.

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.

My Wooden Cabinet

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.
