Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) and put them in your root directory.
“The Fab Camera” is the title of my final project. My inspiration and motivation to create this project comes from a personal need to find a way to learn terms easily and efficiently. The dissemination plan for the final project consists of the following:
The main goal of this project is to ease the process and experience of learning a new language.
In the broad spectrum, this project is aimed at any individual interested in learning new languages. My hope, however, is that this project will be used by students in the UAE to aid their educational experience.
This project is created using the methods and skills acquired during the course of Fab Academy 2020, and the resources provided by FabLab UAE.
For my project, I prefer an open source license, to give an opportunity to share the knowledge I gained, and open a path for further developments.
To create the license, I visited Creative Commons page and answered a simple questionnaire.
The license:
Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material
Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
NonCommercial — You may not use the material for commercial purposes.
ShareAlike — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.
As stated in the license, this is an open source, non-commercial project, ergo I have not really considered marketing.
In case this project fulfils its aim to be used by students of the UAE in various levels, then mass production is to be considered. Of course, manufacturing the electronics can be carried out in FabLab UAE, otherwise, we can mass manufacture by sending the files to china.
At this stage, The product is quite presentable, however, if considered a future where mass production of the device is possible, then there will be many changes to make. Currently, the cloud computing server I am using is running on Google vision API which is free for the 1000 model/month but is charged for any request beyond that number. Similarly, the portability of this project is achieved by having a virtual machine running that server on Google, which, unfortunately, is also a paid service. The rates for the services might be nominal, but this still creates a challenge for mass production and distribution.
