Hello Again! Week 2 has come to a close and the capstone projects have gotten underway. I am excited to dive into my project, though I am always a bit anxious getting started on something new like this. I hope that this long project will go well and that we will be successful in our endeavors to make an Augmented Reality Software for Concrete Strain Visualization. My Team Members seem nice, and I’m glad that we all share a class together this term (that was actually requested by our project benefactor surprisingly).
Augmented Reality as a concept is really fascinating, and I hope that as time goes on the technology involved starts to become a bit cheaper since I could definitely see myself owning something like a Microsoft Hololens in the future. The possibilities almost seem endless for something like this, from using it to visualize changes at a work site like our project, or even something like giving doctor’s real-time feedback when operating, or even something mundane as a Heads-Up Display giving a user useful information about the weather. I’m excited to see how the technology grows as time goes on and what potential applications people find for it.
I am also glad we got to speak with our project leader, though I am also glad Professor Pfeil made the word count easier on us this time, as the time constraint might have been rather rough with my other classes otherwise. Covid-19 has certainly made classes a lot harder for me to focus on, which I’m not a fan of, I miss being able to go to lectures in person, but I’m glad lecture is being delivered safely at least. Hopefully, I’ll be able to go the distance these last 3 terms, since I’m ready to be done with my education and head into the working world!
