After considering the options, here are the "feasibility scores" of the following projects:
Each project will start with 10 points and 0-5 points will be deducted for every major difficulty regarding the making of the project.
1) An eye-track software to paper drawing tool that would take eye movement input and translate that to coordinates for a writing untensil on paper.
Requires:
- Knowledge of eye-tracking software and how to grab information from software. -5
- Coding knowledge (of which I have some) -0.5
- Building/assembly and electronics -0
Total: 4.5
2) A toy car with a gas pedal that would be adaptable to more accessible (AT) inputs.
Requires:
- Circuitry knowledge/electrical engineering (I have moderate to advanced knowledge)
- Specifically variable resistance (for variable speed and adaptability will be a minor difficulty) -2
Total: 8
3) A block stacker that is adaptable to common AT inputs.
Requires:
- Designing a mechanism to (what I would think) pull the blocks up one by one. This would require threading wire/string going through each block to pull them up) not too difficult, but complicated. -1.5
- Adapting AT software and inputs to Arduino (which will be our interface) This is moderately difficult. -2.5
Total: 6
This doesn't mean that certain projects will not be done, but will just give us an idea of what to do first for a higher success rate.
I am happy for you to start with whichever you want to. If you want to go with something because you think it will be easier, that's fine with me.
