Firefly Eindhoven - Trajectory App

Concept

Trajectory Application

The team Firefly is working hard on creating a drone show, where the lighting, song and movement of the drone all interact with each other. As of now these interactions are created manually, if they are to be changed they need to be adjusted inside the coding. The purpose of a trajectory editor, is to give any user the possibility to create his own drone show. Thus with this application it will be possible to change the song, trajectory and led design without having to dig deep inside the coding.

The application for the trajectory editor is being built using JavaScript and HTML5, thus making it a web application. A plan of action has been created, the goal is to create three prototypes. The first prototype focuses mainly on the functionality of the editor, to have a working prototype. It will only contain the top view of the drone, so the height will be constant when editing the trajectory. The second prototype will be created when most functions have been added. It will focus on the user experience and a side view of the drone will be added. Lastly for the final prototype we will try and create a 3D view of the drone, this will be quite the challenge.

As of now we are still working on the first prototype, most functions have been added. The plan was to have the end assessment of this academic year as the deadline of our first working prototype, which has already been achieved.
