Individual Research on Microsoft Hololens 2

28 Feb 2025

1. Found out that the Hololens 2 uses Bidirectional Interlaced Scanning which displays every other line in each frame instead of non-interlaced scanning which displays all the lines on every refresh frame. (Read through consumers' reviews)

2. Researching more on the Hololens 2 specifications in which it uses 120 Hz interlaced which is equivalent to about 60 Hz non-interlaced. (Used DeepSeek to search for potential issues)

3. Found out the importance of non-interlaced video sources as conceptually the human vision takes snapshots of images. With interlaced videos, there will be times where the human vision puts interlaced images wrongly or even misses a certain line. (Found on the intel website on how interlaced videos work)

4. Came to a conclusion that it is a safety hazard in the field of engineering where any mistakes can cause serious implications based on statistical recordings found on a report.

5. Came up with the ideal that the Hololens 2 is lacking behind technologically in its display system, in which I found that other competitors like the Apple Vision Pro uses 100 Hz. A solution could be to find out what apple vision pro uses and implement something similar to them. 

7. Discovered that refresh rates can be improved by upgrading its processing system, i.e, gpu and cpu. (Used Deepseek to ask for solutions)

1. Revised the problem statement with my group mates after discovering that there were more issues with the Hololens 2. (Read through consumers' reviews)

2. Worked on the background of the tech report and found out that other than refresh rate, there is also a colour distortion issue on the. HoloLens 2 (consumers reviews)

3. Described the current technological display and the issues it has. 

4. Found the importance of fixing these issues and how it can impact the construction industry negatively if it is not done. 

11 March 2025

1. Researched on some of the software improvements that can be made to the HoloLens 2 to reduce flickering lines by just starting off by searching on google, "How to increase refresh rate?", "How can I change displays from interlaced video to non-interlaced video?"

14 March 2025

1. Finding images to effectively show problems that happen with the HoloLens 2 to enhance the presentation slides.

2. Finishing up proposed solutions for the presentation.

28 March 2025

1.  After consulting with Prof Brad, I used google to search on how to properly cite and reference in APA 7th edition due to some mistakes made on the references. 

2. Include images from google and forums on the report to show the problems faced without only words

    Thanks, YiZhe. I appreciate the precise deacriptions here. But one key point is that I would like to know how you did your research.

      Dear Prof Brad,

      I have made some changes on how I did my research for example via which website and also my thought process.

      Best Regards,
      Yi Zhe

UCS1001 Formal Email

 Subject: Getting to know me better Dear Professor Bradstone,     I hope this email finds you in good spirits. My name is Chua Yi Zhe. I am currently a Year 1 student, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at Singapore Institute of Technology. The purpose of this email is to do a short introduction of myself and to give you a better insight of my background and goals in the future.     Before attending Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), I had previously studied at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, where I graduated with a Diploma in Audio-Visual Technology Engineering. Although this program was focused on the audio, visual and staging industry, I had obtained some basic knowledge of electrical engineering related to my field of study. This made me passionate about engineering as I learned that in every aspect of life, a form of engineering is needed. After graduation, I needed a change of pace and therefore chose to dwell into the study of civil engineerin...

USC1001 Task 3

 Task 3: The Importance of Communication Skills for Engineers I felt particular importance in this quote:  "Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students' education but also to prepare them for their future careers."  Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007) The way I derived this quote is that it's not only important to be proficient in a student's course of study but also be able to have good communication skills in their field of work. The way we could prepare for the workforce is to start developing and improving during our education and in classes. Being confident and impressionable is an important part of communication skills, in which could be a good way of making new connections and meeting new people, and of course having two thinking minds is better than one. Being future engineers, having connections and friends in the industry is always an advantage. If I...

Ideal: To attend lectures and class more often Reality (Gap): I often miss classes especially when it's in the morning Causes: Unable to wake up early in the morning/oversleeping Effects: I miss out on important information given by lecturers Goals: Be able to attend all my classes Possible Changes: Rest earlier the night before/Stop using electronic devices after a certain time before bed Testing the hypothesis: Decided to keep my phone locked away before bed to get a better rest Outcome: Able to sleep earlier and therefore able to attend all my morning classes
