Final project

Previous ideas

The initial idea of my final project is open to change as my skills develop and my sense of what's possible catches them up and the ideas start flowing, but here's what I've have in my mind right now. I have left visible the how the idea has changed over time.

Idea 1: Screen sheet

A portable sheet that has sensors on the sides so that it knows a location of pen that is "drawing" on the sheet. The pen has a sensor which senses the pressure. There is also a projector on top of the sheet, projecting on it what has been drawn. I'm looking into possibility to integrate it into a open source design software, such as GIMP, Inkscape or even FreeCad. What is being drawn is also visible on the computer screen (on the right).

After discussing with Kris about this idea, he suggested that I'd make my own "rand tablet", an early version of a tablet and a stylus from 1964. That works with sensors under surface that detect where the pen is moving and send the signal to computer (with wiring).

Here's a youtube video that explain how it works and below a link to the original paper of it.

I made a cardboard prototype of it (or similar at least):
