Week 12

5 Jan
Early in the morning, Leonard and I took the application that we had integrate with OSC and tried integrating with Ryan and Wilson's part. After that, we went on testing our integrated application the 'WhiteBoard App'. Here's a picture of our testing:

After multiple testing ensuring that everything works out fine, we showed Kevin the application we had integrated and Ming Hong came in saying that he found a 'hack' that would allow iSight to work with iGlasses and so after the update, we went to see what Ming Hong had done. 

So these are the plans:

• Drag and draw within the pen
• Transparency of images
• Getting Quartz Composer to work in Cocoa
• Dragging the pen out of the palate

I saw the macbook pro that I was using gone from the desk early in the morning. I guessed it was Ming Hong and Kevin who took it to test the iGlasses to change the settings of the iSight to work with lightdraw. Meanwhile was discussing with Leonard on how we should change the thickness of the brushes.

When Ming Hong returned with the macbook pro, I started working with the dragging of the pen out of the palate which in other words, creating of a new pen.

After lunch, 5 of us, including Ming Hong went down to sim lim to purchase the parts to assemble Wilson's new PC and spend the rest of the day assembling the PC.

7 Jan

We were searching for the products that was introduces on MACWorld and we found something reaclly interesting. Introducing the new MacBook Wheel:

BUT this is just a hoax and we initially thought it was real until Bernard told us.

Back to work, we started adding the image of the palate, Change the brush size of the whiteboard application when mouse over at certain area and also chagne the images of the marker when mouse over at some area of the palate.

After that, I went to take a look at what Wilson and Leonard are doing. They seem to have problem with the initial position of the application so I tried taking a look at the Cocoa code and did some changes and it works. This is what I wrote:

NSRect screenRect = [[NSScreen mainScreen] frame];
screenRect.size.width = 1400;
screenRect.origin.x = 1680;
screenRect.origin.y = 0;

However, that's not the only problem. There seems to be problems with the toggle on/off function. Then we went to the pantry for Terence's birthday celebration. After the celebration, we went to take a look at the video shooting for lightdraw

8 Jan

We started integrating all the individual parts into the application. After the integration, we change the coordinates of the functions according to the image of the palate. 

Just before lunch we had a short  lesson given by Ming Hong about matrices and vectors which we had not touch it for quite some time or not touch it before.

9 Jan

The coordinates seems to be off so we change the coordinates. After that, we headed down to Temasek Poly's Open House since there will be a power shutdown for the day.

Reflection:

This week, I have learn more about Cocoa programming and also hardware interfaces. How different hardwares would affect the performance of the computer. I have also learn sometihng about video-shooting and editing. Also, I have also learn something about vectors and matrices althought it was really complicated. These were all the stuff we had learned from our internship this week. Other than that, I have also learned not to leave work to the last minute because the esip system has a time limit on when we can update your task weekly.
