Hi, my name is Daniel. This is a blog of my 4th year software engineering project at The University of Sydney (ELEC4707).

The title of my project is Painting with the Wii. In short, this project involves integrating DirectX into a program designed for painting with a Wii remote (or Wiimote).

I will be continually updating this blog throughout the course of the project. Please check back reguarly for updates!

First Meeting with Supervisor

Today I met up with my project supervisor for the first time, to discuss the project, and work on my project plan, which is due in tomorrow.

After much discussion about the nature of the project, it was decided that the 'Machine Learning' aspect was perhaps not as essential as it was first thought. The area of machine learning implementation could possibly be done more easily in other ways.

We noticed that there were several bugs in the system, and that it was not very intuitive. In the end, we came to the conclusion that my task would involve adding functionality to the system, and improving its usability. If machine learning fitted into this in some way, we would also look at this, but at this stage, it is uncertain.

Anyway, back to my project plan...
