Summer 2016 goals - Erich

Overall goal:

Publish paper on volumetric particle-trapping display

Necessary items:

High-quality images:
- Color-correct raster
  - color/sharpness demo - copyright-free images (macro) Jul-1
  - R2-D2 + Leia (blue+color) (macro - just Leia, far camera - all) Jul-1,Jul-2
  - Ash pokeball (macro or far camera?) Jul-2
  - Iron man screen? (macro or far camera?) Jul-2
  - Iron man gauntlet? (far camera) Jul-2
  - Earth in hand (macro - just earth, far camera - all) Jul-1,Jul-2
- Persistent image demo (large vector, small raster)
  - Vector: Qui-Gon Jinn with ship over hand (far camera, large) Jul-2,Jul-3
  - Vector: Butterfly (+hand) (far camera) Jul-2,Jul-3
  - Raster: Jul-1,Jul-3
- 3D vector
  - ? butterfly (macro or far) Aug-1
  - Qui-Gon hand/ship (far) Aug-1
  - wireframe from modeling software Aug-1
- Video vector (3D?)
  - butterfly flying ? Jul-3 ?
  - wireframe rotating Jul-3 ?
- Scale demo
  - largest - butterfly + hand (far camera) Jul-2
  - smallest - microscope annotation thing ?
- Plasma for comparison - 3D or 2D vector Aug-4
Collect data for: Aug-3
- movement speed
- minimum power to trap
- size of particles picked up (by trap type/laser power)
- hold time (?)
? Be able to identify what creates a good trap reproducibly

Goals by week

June

Weeks 2-3:
- color-correct rasters
  - new green laser / faster modulation
  - Labview color correction
  - find good drawing area
  - find non-copyrighted demo images
Week 4: (out of town)

Results: Raster images are much clearer using macro and smaller drawing size. I spent time getting rid of zigzag on images instead of color correction. Color correction is probably the last remaining thing before rasters look good enough for the paper.

July

Week 1 (Raster):
- Color correction calibration program
- Images: color demo (BBB, dejarik), Leia closeup, Earth closeup
- Try small POV raster
Week 2 (Object images / Vector):
- Vector path generation program (7/26)
- Small vector images
- Large vector images with objects
- Try POV vector
- More raster images, now with objects (far camera position)
Week 3 (Persistent images):
- Improve hold for POV
- ? Measure max speed
- Persistent vector image
- Persistent raster image
Week 4 (3D):
- Trap with variable focus lens

August

Week 1 (3D):
- software to generate wireframe vector from CAD format
- 3D images and video
Week 2: (out of town)
Week 3:
- collect data
Week 4:
- Plasma image
- write paper
