Stereo Ninja Mentor Meeting 1

Participants:

Agenda

  • Introductions
  • Status and history of the project
  • Goals, expectations
  • GOSH forum: use it for meeting minutes & updates
  • Discussion about why 3D Monitor is needed
  • Definition of first milestone:
    • Finalize technical stuff (“beta version”)
    • Document it (BOM, Assembly Guide)
    • Everything so other people can build it
  • Technical issue: can we get it working with a standard (non 3d) monitor?
    • Sub project!
    • Lower the entry threshold by removing the 3D monitor fom BOM
    • We stand at a crossroads. Sub project can have big positive impact, but means a lot of additional work, we can do less in main project
    • Working prototype is not really scalable buildable by others with 3d monitor in BOM

Goal for next 2 weeks:

  • Final draft of OHM canvas
  • First evaluation of sub project

Notes:

Ideas / TODOs

  • Create graph for road map with more structure (more Project management view)
  • Link to placeholder pages on front page

  • Add FAQ
    • How do I join your project?
    • I want to build this, but how?
  • Define Milestones and Topics in roadmaps. Not issues/task. Derive tasks/todos from roadmap items
  • Group Roadmaps items into Groups (HW, SW, Doku)
  • Evaluate if DisplayPort or similar cable can be used for nice cam wiring
    • are there common pins on cameras?
  • Add 3D printing files to repro (Andreas)
