Welcome to Earlham CS Senior Capstone Experience.

Nothing new from this weekend. Today I’m considering the IO of the URL’s for the software and, if that goes well, writing the code to create the visual interface. I’ll outline the paper and gather final reading material tomorrow. At the … Read More

Downloaded Android Studio to begin learning Android development.

I’ve been working on making an outline for the first draft of the paper.

I added the PortAudio functions necessary to enable simple playback as well as revised my beat detection algorithm to watch for both velocity and acceleration. My first impressions of the application so far is that the latency from gesture to … Read More

Created cluster account and got the sample files from OpenCV copied to the cluster. Need to learn how to use qsub to compile programs.

I am still looking into setting up the architecture with Python.

Taking a final glance thorough ffmpeg’s documentation before gathering more data.

Here’s the current version of the flow chart of my program design, although it will surely be revised as the program is revised. I’ve also been thinking about how exactly the tracking of velocity and acceleration is going to work. … Read More

For the last couple of days I’ve been walking through a simple Chrome extension, HexTab, the source code of which is open and published on GitHub. The functionality is nothing like mine, but it has the virtues of … being … Read More

I have spent the last week split up between 3 different tasks: Starting to chart the twitter ER diagram, following the O’Reilly Social Media Mining book to continue to learn about harvesting through APIs, and reopening my database systems textbook … Read More

I spent today reading through more of the documentation for ffmpeg to learn more about its structure and the commands it supports.

I have been working on the outline for the draft.

Went to home depot and found a very help person who was knowledgeable in electronics.  I have decided to use an extension cord as the backbone of my non-invasive device.  I will plug both the power source of the Arduino … Read More

Small update today since I have other assignments I need to finish. I implemented a simple modified queue that stores the last few recorded positions of the hand in order to quickly calculate acceleration. I also learned a bit more … Read More

Presentation went well today. No project updates, except that I’ve decided that I hope to complete a working software version by the end of November so I can focus on the paper during December. (This will not interfere with completing … Read More

I have placed some of my early data in various spreadsheets.  I am continuing the process of collecting data, and am ready to use my the information I have so far and observations I have made to start the first draft … Read More
