This week Ryan and I have been watching more video tutorials on Java and Maya. We are spending a lot of time doing this because those are the two main components to creating our video game. Aside from the videos, we've been thinking about ways to use biofeedback. From our research, we learned that there are few patents for biofeedback. Because of this, we know that there is a large and broad field for biofeedback that needs to be filled in. We do not want to limit ourselves to just biofeedback in video games, even though that is our priority at the moment. We want to create an entire industry where biofeedback can be used in many different/innovative ways. For example, those who are in wheel chairs cannot drive a car. Using biofeedback, we could enable those who are paralyzed to drive a car through their brain activity. The picture provided below explains what we want to do.
Also, MindWave arrived, so we hope to start programming it by next week.
Problem:
Helana has been feeling ill and has not been in school for a whole week. If she does not come this upcoming week, then we will be at a great disadvantage because she is the one who knows how to code the most. She was supposed to teach us how to use Java and Maya.
Plan:
Because we cannot count on Helana at this moment, we're going to have to start taking on her role of the project. Both Ryan and I will have to learn how to code along with our designated task. This means that I have to keep learning about Maya and Ryan has to keep learning about Java.
Good progress! Now it's the time to ramp up the steep learning curve and program the game and MindWave.
