This week, we finished our solid prototype which means our system is now housed in a box that can be easily inserted into the cockpit of any plane. We also wrapped up our poster (to the point where we need to tweak it a little on Monday). Cameron is mainly responsible for the beautiful poster, while Gabby and I built and laser cut the prototype. As a group, we also sent out a survey to different Air Traffic Controllers at LAX to get data. The results were amazing! In our survey, we made a decision to not put “Yes” as an option because how are ATCers supposed to know if our system is going to help them without even trying it? Instead, we put “No” and “Maybe” (as in it could possibly help them) as options in our survey. 100% of the people we surveyed said “Maybe”! Next week will be the forum and the start of making our final video. On Monday we are going to make final changes to our poster and website to make sure that they look the best that they can.

Published by Cameron Kraus This week we have started building our solution with blocks of code and lights. The light will be red until it is your turn to speak to the air traffic controller, then it will make a noise and the light will turn green. First you will press a button and it will put you on hold, then the light turns red and eventually green. We have spent some of the week building this, while some of the other parts of the week we have been starting our poster. This machine will go inside of every cockpit and be built in of all air traffic control systems eventually. Published by Cameron Kraus
This week we are starting on our initial building process. On Monday we tidied up our website and made some small but important changes. We will continue to make additions and changes to our website including our weekly blog that you are reading right now. We have made major progress this week in my opinion. We are having some difficulty right now, though, figuring out how to build our solution. We were not able to begin on our prototype during class on Friday because there was another class in the studio. McQuaid vastly improved the website and made some cool effects to the text. |
