My Final Year Project | Prototypes And Progress

My project's title: Gesture control of a virtual object in augmented reality. I'm a final year Computer Engineering student at the University of Pretoria (Tuks) but also do a whoooooooole lot of other stuff. Check out the rest below...

This is what I am spending day and night working on at the moment and I always allude to it but here are the hard technical details about my project. Got my first principles neural network working too since this video was filmed!

You can message me at / mitch7w but I only check this once a week for my own sanity - the Insta rabbithole is real.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video - attention is valuable so it means a lot. Please subscribe for more brief glances into my life. :)
My name is Mitch Williams and I'm a twenty two year-old living in South Africa. I am really passionate about learning, technology, space, reading, hiking, always improving and am studying Computer Engineering at The University of Pretoria (Tuks). These videos are a way of remembering my life and to possibly help out some other future varsity students get a sense of what they're in for.

If it wasn't for Southern Africa's low internet penetration/availability and also maybe the fact that your channel covers a wide range of topics I think that you'd be at a million subscribers. Try make a second channel that focuses on Engineering topics only and see if it blows up. I personally think that you have a lot of potential in the KZbin space

[@mitch7w]

Thanks hey, trying to experiment with different niches - but yeah I agree the low internet penetration is a limiting factor. Will see how it goes next year when I leave varsity and have to find new subject matter

[@mrcosign4401]

bro thats soo cool , virtual reality ,,, thats craaaazzzzy!!!!

[@mitch7w]

You know it😎

[@vishalthalla2366]

Very cool! Thanks for the sneak peek. Excited for the final product!

[@mitch7w]

Thanks bruv💪🏼

[@tinker2054]

Some super exciting stuff right here Mitch. All the best with your project.

[@mitch7w]

Thanks hey! Nearly done with it.

[@MrRadnartjie]

Very cool Mitch. Keep it up. Did a course in neural networks and genetic algorithms from first principles. Not easy by any means!

[@mitch7w]

Thanks man. Such interesting systems

[@Ponder985]

I can't wait to be here after matric🥺

[@mitch7w]

Soon!

[@programwithviggo2197]

Absolutely amazing 🔥🔥🔥

[@mitch7w]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@affecttheeffect]

An astoundingly complex system in the making Mitch! Will it use the color coded depth information to detect when your fingers are in contact with the surfaces of the cube or does it simply detect when your fist is in contact with any part of the cube?

[@mitch7w]

At the moment it's just the fist in contact with the cube, we'll see when it is working if it needs to be more finely tuned

[@ayandamathafeng1594]

Bro what is the difference between electronics engineering, computer engineering and electrical engineering

[@mitch7w]

Electronics has more hardware focus, computer more software focus and electrical more heavy-duty industrial power electronics focus. They all share the core modules of mathematics, circuitry and engineering professionalism though

[@ayandamathafeng1594]

@@mitch7w I thought computer engineering was the more hardware focused than computer science though?

[@ayandamathafeng1594]

@@mitch7w also what industry would electronic engineers get into with just their degree +ECSA accreditation compare to computer and electrical engineers

Dance moves at 14.30

Have to celebrate sometimes

[@chidichris5687]

Cool 💥...what IDE are u using?

[@tumzaza7003]

He's using visual studio code

[@mitch7w]

VSCode.
