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

• 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.

• 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

• 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
