- Light brightness control: We decided to add another gesture-based interaction to control the brightness of both the main light and the mirror lights. This gesture simply involves placing both hand at shoulder height and moving the apart to brighten the light, or together to dim it. The control switches between the main and mirror lights depending on where the user is standing, and once the user drops their hands, the light locks to the current brightness.
We also corrected some inconsistencies with the falling detection and improved the smoothness of the sink and toilet movement.
We also, at Russell's suggestion, added more direct feedback on what was happening within the bathroom. This can be partially seen in the videos that have been uploaded, it effectively lets the user know what's happening. For instance, when the temperature is being changed, there is a number that indicates the current temperature. There's also text that lets the user know if the bench height is currently tracking them, and whether they're in a position to adjust the main light or the mirror light.
We also placed the "Calling Ambulance" message in the same system, but gave it a more prominent position.
In preparation for the presentation in week 13, we set up an area in the class-room to simulate the bathroom. We outlined major features like the shower and sink with masking tape on the ground, a chair for the toilet, and tables to represent the walls. We then shot the following video to comprehensively cover all the interactions, in case we where unable to get the live features to work during the presentation (This is where we filmed the feature videos for this and the previous post as well.):
For the presentation we decided that for our part, a live demonstration would be by far the most effective way to present, as well as asking Russell or Stephen to use it to see how it works. I'll be the demonstrator, while Steven talks about what I'm doing.
