Iceplate

Testing the camera

Even before we plugged in the camera for the first time, we had a clear idea about how this whole camera procedure would work. This idea eventually turned out to be wrong due to a misunderstanding of light physics.
Since we, in our project, would have quite strong light projected onto the plate from underneath, we were sure that a finger placed on top of the plate would leave a black mark on the image seen from below. Since our camera were to be placed underneath the box, we expected that it would be fairly easy to track the black blob if we just kept the projected image as light as possible.
