git repository, google project

First code commit! I've not used git before for source control (my programming over the last 5 years has been a solo effort so no need for anything beyond tarball source control) hence I just wanted to make some notes for myself on how to use it.

Firstly, code is hosted on google at https://code.google.com/p/os6sense/. To check out a copy:

git clone https://morphemass@code.google.com/p/os6sense/ os6sense


There's very little there yet unless you are interested in just how badly python can be mangled.

And for my own notes, to add a file, commit changes and update the repository :

git add filename.ext
git commit -m "Insert Comment"
git push origin master


I'll put together a download at some point in the future

Recording/Playback

I've been busy with whipping my literature review and methodology sections together for the last few weeks (with the occasional diversion to tout the surveys, still a very low response so far *sadface*) and I'm heading towards crunch time now where I'm going to have to bring everything together for a draft version early next months. Since I'm now more in a documenting than development phase I've little work done on the prototype apart from to add recording/playback capabilities so that a session can be "recorded" and then I can explore if changes to the gestural interface improve recognition (although that isn't a major aim at this point). Again, a quick plea to anyone reading, just a few more responses to the gesture and display surveys and I'll be able to start my analysis for that data so if you have 5 minutes it would be greatly appreciated.

Getting the design right vs getting the right design

So today I've been looking at ways to make the text input interaction more fluid and investigating if I can able some level of error correction (i.e. a spell checker). 1) 2 hours of use off and on and my arm aches, my back aches, my wrist aches. Even with the minimal arm movement that is required, my forearm still needs supporting and to spell a 5 letter words I am still moving the focal point about....6 inches across which is enough to induce fatigue over time. If I had more time I would do an about turn and look at just using a single finger (although that reintroduces the segmentation issue which the pinch technique solves).... 2) Writing without visual feedback is more taxing than I had thought. I originally did an experiment which involved people walking and writing at the same time as a "proof of concept" exploration. I suspect I had the task wrong though - I should have had them do it blindfolded! Luckily I've still time to repeat that experiment. 3) The ...

Update.

Just an update - while I had originally approached this with the intention of releasing the code as open source my findings regarding....well various aspects of this project, but relevant to this aim, the code itself, means that I'm putting any software development on the back burner for the next few weeks while I perform a study into how people naturally perform gestures. I'm also looking at some options to improve certain show stopping issues with the system (primarily the limited FOV of the webcam). Any code that does emerge for the project, at least for version 0.1 is unlikely to be very robust but I think that can be overcome : I'm currently thinking that broad colour segmentation followed by some form of object matching technique (e.g. SIFT/SURF) should make quite a robust and reasonably fast algorithm for marker detection however if the FOV problem cant be solved, I actually think that ANY vision based system is inappropriate for this sort of interaction style. Y...
