My new uOLED TV… (smile)

After several unsuccessful attempts with PIC16F88, I have managed to build a small and perfect control circuit with PIC18F2620 for 4D system’s uOLED display. I designed a new board with programming pins and a special serial connection to the OLED display. The display can be controlled by sending serial commands to it from PIC. Below are some photos the system with a simple test output. Any ideas to implement, drop me an email... :)

FYP 2011

Today mark the final day for another batch of final year project (FYP) students in Mixed Reality lab. In a way, it is a sad day, because every year they work with us so friendly and energetically though finally they are graduating and we (grad students) are continuing.. As usual, we saw several exciting demos with convincing results this year too. I take this opportunity to wish them all good luck and best wishes for their future endeavors!!

CWC2011 - Finals

1.2 Billion against 1.2 Million.... India VS Sri Lanka.. #CWC2011 finals..

Oh! What a tensed match that was.. still couldn't believe my eyes.. we lost to India!!

Well! I am talking about the India vs Sri Lanka finals in CWC2011. It was bit unfortunate nothing work out for Sanga, our captain, than the Mahela's great inning and Malinga's first few overs with two great dismissals. Everyone was blaming to fielding arrangement and performance in the field. 

Anyways finally Congrats for both teams for the great entertainment in the finals and India for winning the cup, Sri Lanka for the runners up..

Below are some snaps captured from Chijmes, Singapore, where they projected the live match and we watched.

IEEE VR 2011

Writing after yet another busy period! the IEEE VR 2011 conference. It was held during 19 – 20 March 2011 at Suntec convention center in Singapore. I was there as a student-volunteer with few more students from MXR lab. It was my first student-volunteer experience in a conference and it was great! Had chances to attend the conference free.. and importantly talk to several high ranked professors.. got to know their research works and so on. Apart from those, there was a lab tour for conference attendees, which was to CUTE Center, MXR. Had to setup several demos and in return got good comments from them.
Below are two photographs taken during the conference,
