This week was a non-teaching week, but progress continued on the project. Steven and myself decided on a form for the Kinect Rig, we'll develop a design for a spider-cam like device and get feedback on it from Russell and Stephen.
I've come up with a preliminary design for a prototype:
The design still needs to be refined to make sure it can be constructed and that the motor will be able to connect, but I think this could potentially be quite effective.
It uses the heads of 4 bolts to hold up the lower section while the motor in the middle rotates it. The Kinect is connected by two laser-cut brackets and a piece stopping it from sliding sideways. The four wires are connected to the top-plate as well as the motor, meaning the Kinect can be rotated as well as moved around.
