Invention, Intellectual Property and Income

This weeks task was to: 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, < ~25 MB) and put them in your website’s root directory

Slide

Video

My projects not done yet (currently printing), so I have placeholders for the sanding, painting, and final product portions

Dissemination Plan

My product has no commercial value, and it's against the spirit of making something so community driven to then stab that community when they want to make it. Therefore, I decided on the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial 4.0 International license. This allows anybody to create and edit my final project, but not profit off it as thats not in the spirit of this project

Future Plans

This will go somewhere in my room, so I'll need to modify for standing still for long periods. This will probably be through code, specifically using the deep sleep features available on the esp32 series. This allows them to essentially turn themselves off (1/10000th the power consumption) but have a timer to turn themselves back on. Using that, I could drastically increase the "shelf life" of the camera. This would mean that it wouldn't be able to stream 24/7, but this was always intended to be more of a decoration that I move once a long long while and not a constantly on piece of equipment
