Today we chose the groups for our projects. We didn't end up using the system of submitting a CV and being chosen that way, and instead it was based off our WAM. People with the higher WAM's were allowed to become group leaders and pick their topic, and others were then allowed to nominate which project and group they wanted to join. This system meant that the groups weren't chosen based on skills and how fitted you are to the certain project, and instead became more of who wanted to be in which group with their friends. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out.
The group I joined consists of myself, as well as:
- Matthew Kruik
- Laura Liu
- Dan Zhang
- Siyan Li
We are doing the Liveable Bathrooms project, with a focus on creating a system that can track people while using their bathrooms. This will use a Kinect Sensor to do motion tracking and CryEngine to simulate the interactive elements of a bathroom. Our project's plan will be further thought out during the week and put into our back brief for next week's presentation.
As far as roles within the group go, we have pretty much sorted it out. Our initial team leader was Laura, but she didn't want to be incharge and instead put me in charge because I've been a team leader for a large group project before and no one else really wanted it. For the project, Matt and myself will be looking at the side of it pertaining to the Kinect and the programming, while the other three do the modelling and interactive portion of the project.
