Indivudual Assignments
- Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project
- Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) and put them in your root directory
Plan for dissemination
My final project is customizing an existed product and therefore, the principal idea of that is not novel. But it has potential to be commercialized as a separate product or ambitiously, combine it with our current setup and make a new product. After several modification in the initial idea, I came up with designing a delta robot which can hold the fiber optics and moves in 3D dimensions.
Since I am not inventing something new and also, I am using other open sources and instructions, I am going to share all of the steps I will take during the whole process and maybe, provide a good DIY source for other people especially the beginners like myself. For now, I am considering to publish the materials on Instructables and maybe full 3d design on Sketchfab.
Licences
There are many available licences we can choose based on the project type and target users that I will list a few of them here:
- Creative Commons (CC) : is free and easy to use license for sharing creative (design) works, which is comprised of 6 main licenses with specific conditions including Attribution (by), ShareAlike (sa), NonCommercial (nc), NoDerivatives (nd). Therefore considering Attribution (by) condition, it requires that others who use my work in any way must give me credit the way I request.
- MIT: applies for software and is free of charge and without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the software.
- fab: This work may be reproduced, modified, distributed, performed, and displayed for any purpose, but must acknowledge "project name". Copyright is retained and must be preserved. The work is provided as is; no warranty is provided, and users accept all liability.
- GNU: is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works. The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users.
- Apache: The Apache Software Foundation uses various licenses to distribute software and documentation, to accept regular contributions from individuals and corporations, and to accept larger grants of existing software products.
For my final project, I will choose the CreativeCommons, specifically Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike, where the "Attribution requires" to give appropriate credit to the author of the work, the "NonCommercial" - the materials cannot be used for commercial purposes, and "ShareAlike" - transformed work should be distributed under the same license as the original while for the software part, I will use MIT license.
My final slide
For preparing the summary slide draft, I started to work with Canva which is very simple to use and has nice features. I have already chose a catchy name for the projects in addition to adding some features. But I will update it after finishing my 3d design and also, completing the product.

Preparing of the video clip
For making a short project presentation video, I was going to choose OpenShot Video Editorwhich is easy to use and quick to learn and include many features, but then, find out that Canva could be another easy tool for making the video.
