Fractal Set-up

Pitfalls

  • Printer problem - “I still have the printer problem where I can print the test page but not set printer as server default”
    • Deleted test printer to make default to printer
  • Calibration - Overexposure/Apriltag cut off
    • Turn down exposure on calibrate page
    • Print calibration page to fit entire image
  • “Lots of flickering”
    • Turn down camera exposure
  • Calibration, z plane camera close to projected screen
    • Being able to recalibrate in the middle
  • Hardware set-up. Finding a good configuration
    • Does webcam need to be perfectly perpendicular vertically?
    • What makes sense for ultra short throw projects
      • Calibration challenges
  • What are the tolerances of the hardware?
    • Webcam, projector, understanding the sizing of calibration sheet, april tags
  • Calibration challenges
    • Lack of feedback
    • Ultra short throw projectors towards the end of the screen
    • Suggestions
      • Having a start-up page once calibration is successful
      • Feedback on the calibration stage, what we should be looking for
      • Maybe having quadrants or key points to get for calibration sheet
      • Overall having more feedback
    • Webcam was too high up - meant the folk interface was extending far beyond the system
