Final Project
My project was done with Zack Dunham and Tristan Marshall The goal of our project, feelings of history, was to show history from a new angle by using technology to create an interactive experience. Our initial brainstorming was inspired by technology like the hololens and by statistics about how little the average citizen actually knows about history. The prototyping process took the vast majority of our time as we researched and tried to implement different ways for the arduino to track its location and communicate wirelessly. The first method we tried for positioning was to use an accelerometer to measure the acceleration and extrapolate from that, which didn't work because as soon as a single input was lost the position would be so incorrect there was no recovery. Next we researched a few things including: a GPS chip (doesn't work because the best resolution we could achieve was about 12 meters), using the latency of the RF chips to measure distance (doesn't work
