Table of Contents
Many designs, products, and ideas get shutdown due to understanding on how it works or how its used, but with this product it allows a much easier representation and understanding.
The need is that when I'm showing a cad model, they might not fully understand it from the cad mode. If they actually had the physical object it will be easier to understand from all angles rather than a flat representation.
There will be two parts of the project: The actual table and a web app to load a cad file. (.obj, .stl). Gesture control, rotate, and scale to blow up and shrink images. Might be easier to use as a button in terms of ability to make it.
It's simple and elegant. The side design will mask the ugly edges, and the edges would sort of warp the hologram. The design is sleek and minimalistic, drawing the attention to the hologram.
It uses cheaper and more avalbile materials with a minimalistic yet effective design to create a display that is as close as it can be to creating a tangible representation from a CAD model.
- 1/16 inch acrylic
- 1/8 inch pine
- codium
- base: 1/4 inch pine
- Screw size: t25 1/2 inch
- LCD: smallest laptop size (14 inch)
- Bluetooth/HDMI connection to device
- Arduino Uno/ESP32
- Webcam for computer vision gesture control
- Level 1: We will be able to load a cad file from filesystem/usb, and have that file displayed on the hologrpahic desk.
- Level 2: Includes hand gestures for rotation/scale, and joystick/buttons for analog input.
- Level 3: Adapted machine learning model for detecting finished/unfinished parts of the CAD model.
We will follow an iterative development strategy to create multiple functional prototypes before the final product.
Break up timeline into research, development, and testing.
