4/7/2017 Blog 7: improving and refining our project

This week, we mainly focused on improving and polishing on the features that were already implemented in our project. For instance we managed to finally glue the holographic projector with the new acrylic glue that was offered to us. Moreover, we succeeded in adding several smaller details, such as windows and doors on the map of the building. Other additions to the visuals would be the newly implemented roof and a better brick wall textue that we found on internet. We have also fixed certain issues with our Processing code and we have found a way to reduce its  length. This minor improvement allows us to modify or correct the code with much more ease than before. We also worked on the poster for our project and we are currently trying to improve it by shortening its length as well as refining the word choice for it. Despite the fact that we were able to achieve steady progress on our project this week, we did run into a larger problem. We had planned to add a special feature to our map, which consisted of adding a view of the inner layout of the house. The attempts to implement this feature onto our project were unsucessful and despite our best efforts, we were not able to fix it. Next week, we plan to work on fixing this problem and to further advance our project. We also hope that we would be able to complete it soon.
