Abondoned the attermpt to make the prototype

It has been a very long time since i put up a post.

A new technology , bionic contact lens, has come that fabricates an opto-electronic circuit onto a contact lens that will project a virtual image onto the pupil. This technology is far more advanced than the one i was working till now. So, i determine that working on htis anymore is not viable.

So now, my attention is towards understanding bionic technology and using it to serve my intention

Preparing a non-working model

now that the scanner mechanical design is complete, i'm going to prepare a non - working model of it to check whether the design is implementable and to foresee the difficulties in assembling it.

I have been given a workspace, where i'm assimilating this model.

Finished the physical designing

Finally the designing of the physical and the mechanical parameters of the prototype scanner have been completed successfully!!

Next comes the stage where the processing needs have to be catered. I'm working with a atmega 8/16/32 micro-controller.


Since i have no knowledge about atmega programming; either i have to learn it myself or team up with a person who is well versed in that.
I feel instead of learning atmega programming now, i better team up with a person capable of atmega programming.

so I'm on the look out for anyone who can program an atmega micro-controller.....

More info on my project

i have received feedback from few of my readers that they couldn't connect with my idea... so this is for them:

The aim of my project is:

To make a virtual retinal display (VRD) device that can produce a high quality color image and program it to obtain both graphical and real life non - graphical images and implement the three modes of Virtual reality i.e.

1. Fully immersive
2. Partially Immersive
3. Augmented vision

into the single device so as to provide the user with a choice to switch over between the three and build applications for it.

A sample of the applications that i have planned,

1. Fully immersive

To design a virtual office where users can login in (just like they enter into an office) and carry out their work, hold meetings, discuss issues, and everything that can be done in an actual office; sitting at the comfort of their home.

To create a virtual meeting room where executives from various countries can sit, see each other, discuss, exchange notes and documents and do all things that can be done in a meeting while sitting in their homes (which are geographically thousands of miles apart)

2. Partially Immersive

To design an interface and integrate a PC, TV, Phone, MP3 Player, eBook Reader, a Play Station and many more electronic gadgets into the VRD Device.

3. Augmented Design

These application already exist, such as augmenting schematics to circuit designers, CAD drawings to automobile engineers, building blueprints to Structural Engineers, Patient History to surgeons during surgery and the like.

Breakthrough in parameter designing

i finally found a way to practically design the prototype. All the theory is ready and i also wrote a program that will design the parameters for me given the inputs.

Now i have reached a stage where i can say that my prototype is practically constructable. The next stage will be to design the data and image processing algorithm, the hardware and the programming...

Lots more to do... !!

Many constraints - Many challenges

the parameter estimation of the prototype scanner is going on vigorously; there are many constraints in it which needs to considered. Hardware having typical behavior must be used and their operation must be stretched to their maximum.

My project mentor is a knowledge person, whose expertise and experience is vast. I'm very lucky to be guided by him.

We are currently discussing the problems associated with the scanner and soon we'll come with a solution.
