Hardware 2 Comments »

Today we got our ordered hot mirror from Thorlabs. It’s the “FM201 - Wide Band Hot Mirror, Dia = 2″, AOI = 0°, 1 mm Thick” which can be found/ordered here: http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=897&visNavID=403

We were very excited about the result. Compare yourself:

First visitors

Hardware, Software 1 Comment »

Today we had our first visitors, which were two members of the I4DS. We showed them our basic ideas, our hardware setup as well as the software part. They were quite happy with what they saw and had some good ideas where we can go further, where we could implement some interesting stuff on the software side…and so on.

For us it was like a little “role-out” cause no one, except the team members of course, saw our product yet. We’re really looking forward to have some more people in our project-room because there’s nothing better to get some ideas from than someone who is not involved in the project himself and can see the whole thing from another perspective…

Soooo if you’re interested…drop us a mail ;)

Setup working!

Hi all!

We did some changes on our setup and now got it working. What we did was:

  • Adding a thorlabs 880-40 bandpass-filter. this one was worth every cent!
  • replaced our two led-bars with new ones (485P instead of 485-2s)
  • ourcamera is now next to the projector, also pointing on the mirror
  • the beamer angle is more flat…this way we were able to eliminate the ghost images…

The accuracy of the blobs is awesome! enjoy the pics…
