8) The End of CPE111, Virtual Keyboard By J2P Group

Before the presentation, we worked hard to develop program such as GUI Thai , English i, upper case and lower case interfaces. Interface developed, I used Locale Class in Java to get language of keyboard and convert text in button into Thai. Both upper and lower case are added in each button. However, I cannot add all of these to my program. We cannot change text in the label of each button, if we set focusable of window in false. We must use false status of focusable to run this program on another program to type text in text box. I chose fault focusable because it is main aim of this project. Next, problem of device has appeared. Sometimes, Leap Motion sends garbage value to GUI, so it makes wrong cursor in my program and press button. It seems to me that Leap Motion is not accurate. If you stick all your fingers, it can't detect. Maybe in the future, Leap Motion will be good more than right now. At the beginning, I praised Leap Motion. Now, I don't like it. Next problem has been a my logical of algorithm of pressing button. I have used a Y-value of Y-Axis or height difference of 2 frames by multiply some value to make it precious. And I tried another way by using difference between palm position and each finger to tell that press button now or not. After finished that way, I knew that it was bad because angle of hand make program not accurate. I was confused in that time. Finally, I chose old process or changable of Y value. I have already thought carefully by compare the precision between 2 ways.
What about my partners ? Thank to them. They helped me a lot although they didn't understand my code.
But they tried to understand my code. I understand some people good in their way.
What about presentation day ? I think it doesn't like presentation. In my opinion, it's a exhibition. They are a lot of people make a noise. I must present in loud sound. I prefer to present in front of class because everybody probably listened our presentation. Everybody made sense and get some idea from each group to gain creativity. Our presentation was good in my way. I was so hungry at lunch, I can't go to 7/11 to buy food but I forced my teammate to make me full. Thank to all committee to give me a feedback.
I extremely like feedback. He wore pink shirt. He maybe master degree or senior which I didn't know.
The main concept of this feedback which I am very impressive is "You must invent something that different to another people. Creative device will be interested almost of people . We don't care about usable of customer. If you want A grade, you must do this", he said. Firstly, I doesn't make sense to me. "If I create something that has creativity, None use this because it difficult to consume. Why I do like that", I spoke. My teammate said that "Creativity will make people interest. People can learn how to use it by themselves. For example, Apple produce iPhone. Firstly. It is new device. It was hard to use in first time. After that, people will understand iPhone". I loves this concept. And unknown person suggested me about create keyboard in real air by not using GUI in computer. Separate layout in real world is creative. I understood that point. The next concept from P'Bas, he suggested me to create virtual keyboard by use some rectangular plate to lay palm on surface and move finger up and down to act like press button.
I got concept that is "Each people each ideas".
Thank for P' Jet to give me a suggestion and P' Best also to finish this project.
Now, Let's talk about CPE111 course. I think that I learned many things from CPE111. I know what I interest and opposite also.
From CPE111 project. I learned by myself. It's self learning. It's very good for KMUTT student, I think.
Ultimately, Thank for CPE111.

7) Add Leap Listener to GUI (Virtual Keyboard Java) & Fix some bug

Now, we can use leap to detect pointables not only finger tips but also all of implements which can act liking pointing. Listener gives x,y,z to make cursors also. And the next things are bug of virtualization keyboard by Robot Java class. That's KEYEVENT.VK_PLUS. We can't use it. Console displays that some red error. Therefore, I searched in internet to find solution. Next, set location program to bottom of screen was done. Finally, it's the most important development. i.e. making program run on another program to type character or act like keyboard by using one statement which is pretty cool. Thank to internet to help my work and P'Best to give us a suggestion about pass value between 2 class.
The last thing's we change IDE Elipse from Netbeans because Netbeans can't work with Leap Motion.

6) Virtual Keyboard GUI acts real keyboard by Listener

I have developed this project. Now, it can stimulate key press when user click or be action with button by using Robot class, ActionListener class. Especially CAPSLOCK, NUMLOCK & SCROLLLOCK button that I add event to it such as key press or do something with it. Label status of every lock button will be change depend on user click and press by real keyboard at top right corner. When program start, program will check status of CAPSLOCK, NUMLOCK & SCROLLLOCK status and show in labels.
In the future, we will add Leap motion event to our project. Problem is implement. We will find Leap Motion by ourselves and do best.

Test CAPSLOCK, NUMLOCK & SCROLLLOCK

5) Virtual Keyboard GUI created from Java application by Netbeans (Finished)

JButton , Jframe & Label

Virtual keyboard GUI is complete now. Next, I will add listen to all button and create event when user do something with button.

4) Virtual Keyboard GUI created from Java application by Netbeans (Not finished)

JButton & JFrame

I created from Virtual Keyboard GUI Java prototype by JFrame, JButton from javajavax.swing.*

Before Forming this GUI. I tried to file GUI IDE which can develop easily. First IDE was eclipse although I should download plugin which call WindowBuilder. It's difficult to use, so I abandoned it.

Finally, I tried to NetBeans. It's better than Eclipse.

4 Hours used for learning and improve prototype. It isn't to be worthwhile.
