My part was initial inception, real time image analysis, wiring and component bring-up. Thanks to Eugene for improving calibration-screen performance by 100x and for fabricating an improved controller apparatus. Thanks to Karthik for combining the controller apparatus with the image analysis software. Thanks to Connor for all-round support.

Worked on lcd integration and speed up (hacked the lcd library, got a 100x improvement over stock implementation), developed the interface between the Nucleo board and Sega Genesis/Atari 2600 gaming systems (both hardware and software), tuning of thermal image readout (preprocessing and visualization code), generic code speed up and system level debugging and troubleshooting.
