Augmented Reality Project

Wednesday, May 31, 2006

Things have been going well. I have been learning alot. I have created a Flickr with the pictures from Orlando, but I am still trying to firgure out how to put the Flickr that I have created onto the blog. So this week and the end of next week I hope to have that loaded onto the blog. I have also cont. to look at the different web sites and have learned alot. I am still reading the papers that Proff. Hanson has written, my goal is to have them both read and summerized by what I already knew and what I have learned and post it next week. I have spent 6 hours this week so far.

At the Dental Educators Meeting the project was accepted to go to Orlando! It was also recoginzed at the Donor Lunch In for undergraduate research.
The Senior have graduated and are on their way out into the working field of Dental Hygiene. They have researched and done alot for the Augmented Reality project. I and two other student are going to continue their findings on this project over the next year.

I have just started with this project and I am going to continue the research over the summer. My objectives to begin with are as follows:
1) To get familiar with the Mac- I have been playing around with it, it is alot different then what I am used to. It's hard to get the hang of it but hopefully with time it will get better.
2) I am also going to explore the different web sites we are using for this project, to help me get familiar with those.
3) I have started to read two papers that Prof. Hanson has written about the project so that I have a better understanding and knowledge about the project.
4) I am going to figure out how to add pictures to the blogg and create a flicker of the pictures from Orlando and post them on the blogg, and also change the template of the blogg.

Our Future Objectives are to:
1) Look at Jazz Studio and make our own 3D objects
2) Investigate visual and magnetic trackers
3)Learn about plug ins

I have alot to get working on as you can see. I am excited and a little overwhelmed with it because I dont have alot of knowledge to start out with and I have alot to figure out but I excited to read about it and continue the research. I have spent about 6 hours so far helping at the lunch in and doing some reading on my own time.
