FYP2 - Critique 2 (Update) - Interface Design

After received several comments from lecturer and friend, from the previous interface design, I have make some editing. For the button, I have change all the icon and english text into chinese text. Don't worry, when user mouse over, there will be a pop up text written the english meaning in case user don't know chinese. For the image appear in the introduction scene, I have draw all over again to make sure the image look clear while not pixel.

Here I add a scene which lecturer suggest as I have to let the user know that if user write out of the text, the sound will be play will be noise.

Every chinese text also have they own stroke step to be write in order to complete. I have put number according to the chinese text stroke while user can follow the number to write the text. At each text, simple animation will be play to make the scene won't feel too bored.

FYP2 - Critique 2 (Update) - Wiimote Testing - Progress

Here the progress that I mark down when Innocent teach me.

Hope I can done the connection.

The video above show what actually I need to do. =)

This is the software called WiimotePresenter. You can't open the software if the wiimote is not connected. Mark the Enable IR on the right bottom to make sure the IR LED is connected with the software. The white square box at the right bottom will show where your mouse pointer are.

Well I have successful connect wiimote with my PC. Congratz~~~ ^^

I also successful make the IR LED connect to my PC. Another congratz~~~ =)

At last... I also successful make the IR LED as a tool to draw on my screen (In paint). Big Congratz~~~ =D

Well... The IR LED as mouse cursor is hard to be control, well, I will try my best to solve this problem. = 3

FYP2 - Critique 2 (Update) - IR LED Testing - Progress

After the presentation, I been told that the IR LED that I place on the key chain is burn. Based on Mr.Kok Yoong comment, I have try to test the IR LED with my handphone camera. At starting, the IR LED really don't have any respond, but after try the rest I bought, those still not working. At last I try up side down the IR LED, finally its work. =)

View from the camera.

When press on the button, with our eye, it really like nothing happen. But when it press under handphone camera, it like a light on the IR LED.

This capture using my 2MP handphone camera. Not pressing.

When pressing on it.

The final outcome of the IR LED calligraphy pen.

I'm using double sided tape to stick the back of the set of IR LED and battery, then tape it with masking tape to avoid it drop.

After this testing, the following step will be testing on the wiimote connection between the device and PC.

FYP2 - Critique 2

Just end our critique 2 in studio yesterday. Due to both lecturer assest us in different time, while we actually need to do edit and modify based on lecturer comment. I have learn how to install the wiimote into my PC from Innocent where I know he have the experience on installing it.

Comment from Mr.Hafiz :
I have borrow the SonyView touch screen tab from Sweet Ying and present my installation.

The problem I face is when my application presented on touch screen, user have to click on the position they want to write before writing, or else, the point starting to write will continues since the last point. Mean if user have click on the next button, if user didn't click a new point on the text, when user write on the text, the ink will start on the next button position. Mr.Hafiz need me to make the mouse point like when everytime user write on the text, just like they already press on the mouse to start anew point. (Will try my best to solve this problem as Mr.Hafiz said if I make it as touch screen using IR LED, the same problem will appear as well.)

For the position of the wiimote, Mr.Hafiz suggest me set it at 45 degree as the IR LED need to face to the wiimote infrared.

Comment from Mr.Kok Yoong :
Due to Sweet Ying is not presenting before or after me, I have to presented my installation by just using laptop.

For the graphic, Mr.Kok Yoong suggest me draw myself instead of using online image at the introduction scene. While for the main installation scene, Mr.Kok Yoong comment that I might need some simple animation on the screen because the current scene is boring while is just the background image with the text. For those button like exit and skip, maybe I can use chinese text as the installation is a chinese based application. (So for each text I will add in the related object in like the first scene text's is bird, there will have bird fly pass by when the scene is play. The button will change to chinese text while mouse rollover will have show the english meaning of it.)

For the IR LED, I have told that actuclly I fail to connect it to my PC while after Innocent explaint to me, I will try again by using my own PC. Mr.Kok Yoong have teach me on how to check whether the IR LED function or not, which is using the handphone camera.
