Imagine Cup

Due to various reasons (some people not doing what they said they had done, and various other factors) The Eduar Imagine Cup team, has decided to withdraw from the Imagine Cup 2007 competition.

This does not mean that we are gonna stop working on the project, we are just taking a break for 1-3 months, after that time we will post annoncing a return to the project, we are really optimistic of being able to market our application when we finish it, and who knows - it may just change the world (or not :))

So, for the mean time - this blog will not be updated for a bit. I will post an annoncement on my personal blog (http://thejoshblog.wordpress.com) when we are about to commence work on our project (feel free to call it ARW)

See you on the other side

Josh.

A little more about team Eduar (1/3 things signed off on Alpha!)

Seeing as I have just completely finished one of the main components of our project, I thought I would go into a bit more detail about some of the components.

Basically we have 3 main bits of the project:

1. konfigerator
2. ???
3. ???


obviously I wont talk about the last two bits just yet. I can talk about the Konfigerator.

What the Konfigerator does is guides the user through the configuration of our solution, this includes running camera calibration tools, printing out AR markers, etc. the cool thing about the Konfigerator is that it is completly configurable and scriptible without having to rebuild the program.

Yes, pictures are coming, just not at this specific time.

I should post some more tommorow, maybe with a bit of video.

Busy....

Just thought I would tell you all that we havent forgotten about this blog, its just that we are increadibly busy, expect a long post soonish

General Progress

Things are going well for us at the moment, People seem to be knowing what they are doing, I'm on to the backend of our project, its sort of a SAAS solution but completly diffrent :p

I've taken a few pictures of us at work - its just a matter of me uploading them to Zooomr (I will do this next week).

We might even be ready to announce our project to the world on thursday.

I'll post again on Thursday (with pics, hopfully)

Progress Report

Hey all, I'm Jeremy Blanchet, but everyone calls me Jerm. I'm mainly working on the presentation, documentation and hardware, but I'll contribute to programming every now and then (not so far at the moment ... they don't trust me with the main program ... lol).

Quick update of what I've and everyone else has been doing, I've got some of the user documentation and presentation, not much thou cause of a close family member in mine just past away a few days ago. I believe Josh has done most, if not all of what he was working on and started something else ... I really don't know what he is working on now, he's not really saying. I have no idea how Nick is getting along, so either he or josh will have to put a progress report for him sometime down the track.

That will do for now ... someone should update again in a couple of days (probably Josh ... who should have some pictures and stuff :) )

Until sometime down the track
Jerm

So, um, yeah.

It might get a bit quiet here over the next 4-7 days

We have an important milestone on monday and we still have alot of work todo on the build

so unless my fellow teammates have something they want to say

I'll see you all when I see you - with pictures!!!!!! (and some stat tracking code for us - but you dont care about that, do you?)
