radialImage
Inspiration
We have received some lasers from china that we bought a while ago and we already knew about pov led displays, so we wanted to try to reach further with lasers. We want to create screens that look like pen and we have also some ideas about holografic images with lasers.
What it does
It has a software capable of transform any image into a radial gray scale image. Then, this process image is taken as an input for arduino which project the image anywhere you like except your eyes (or other's).
How we built it
The software is just a script in java and we use matlab for testing it. In a 3D printer, we built the main structural parts and integrate the arduino nano setup and the lasers in it.
Challenges we ran into
Designing the 3D pieces. 3D printing functioning errors. Laser misalignment. Low mechanical stability of the setup.Shift registers not working, repeatedly,as expected. We didn't have everyhtning we needed.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We made a tangible working prototipe. With it, we shine both in the bright and the dark side. And above all, it was fun.
What we learned
Improve our arduino skills and our image processing knoledge.
What's next for Lazying fun
Sleeping, because we're tired. Also getting a better motor and a more stable mechanical setup to be able to project the images steadily.
