For a reminder of what my goal is with this project, see HERE.
Since my last update, I have been researching more about how lasers work, in order to determine the best type to use for this project. I have put in an order for a mobile laser grid, which I will take apart and examine to learn more about how it works.
Not much has happened since the last update in terms of physical progress, as my laser grid has only just arrived; however, I will be explaining my plan going forward.
I will be disassembling this laser and using the pieces to build my own. To do so, I will need to research how lasers function and examine the construction of the one that I ordered. During this time, I will be designing and 3d printing a case and attachment mechanism to secure the laser to a ski helmet.
From now until the deadline of this project, the majority of my time will likely be used to design the case and determine how to attach it to a helmet; although it should not take so much time that the deadline becomes a major worry for me.
My next update will be of the events of the year-end trip to the University of Victoria with fellow Fusion students. At this time, I will also be detailing my progress since this post, and I hope it goes well.
