Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project

The device for matching maker with odor.

So I will organize a workshop and grab some beer to find your match after workshop in Kuriyama town.

One possible future development for Love Knows is the need to develop sensors. I understand that is a very difficult task. In fact, I would like to be able to set multiple smells and find the partner that is close to your preferred smell. However, since I do not even know how to start developing sensors.

I would like to first find a way to detect only pheromone-like substances in body odor. As for the design, I would like to find a way to make the nose a little bigger to increase its visual impact. Once I’m able to detect odors with a high degree of accuracy, I would like to hold a matching party using this device and provide a place to meet people. I believe that such an event would be a very important opportunity in a rural town like Kuriyama. As for the fabrication of the device, it would be nice to hold a workshop before the party to make handmade devices.

Compress the video

Open the ffmpeg

type “cmd” > enter

It shows up

I found a code to compress from suzuki’s week2 documentation.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -crf 30 output.mp4
//change "imput.mp4" for your file name that you want to compress.
//Change "output.mp4" for output file name.

Press enter then start to compress and save in the folder that you choose.

Original file was 81.1MB

compress 30 was 13.3MB

compress 20 was 49.1MB

and compress 40 was 4.66MB (I was too unclear)

So I chose 45 becoming 7.55MB

Add a files to docs folder and push.
