Week 1

—————-

The first week of the Fall 2013 started off great here at ETC. The team gathered on the first day in our project room, and set up our computers. We started discussing our project, and what our individual visions of the project was. We set up a Google Plus community to track our ideas and references, as it provides a very visual layout. We also set up a Trello Organisation for project management.

We met with our advisers, Scott and Shirley, and discussed a gamut of topics pertaining to the project, from logistics to high level conceptual ideas. After the meeting, we were excited to get started on the project, and felt confident about the support we have for the road ahead.

One of our team members, Akshaya was in India this week, for her sister’s wedding. So, we scheduled a google hangout with her on friday, and brainstormed ideas for the project and for our team name. We decided on TransNeuroSia – a word Hurricane came up with that is a portmanteau to evoke a vision of being transported to the future of human biology and medicine. It fits in nicely with our project.

Brainstorming for our project, we came up with three main categories of ideas –

  • An interactive experience on Glass using projectors and Leap Motion for control

  • Augment Reality in mobile devices

  • Games that would simulate the experience of working in a futuristic hospital

We also scheduled a meeting with our client next week, and look forward to meeting him.
