No, not in public for now... just a short impression of how our team looks like wearing these thermal imaging solutions for saving the birds....
We will update the log with some more high res pictures of the prototypes in operation - we submitted this project to the German STEM competition... and for the test with the jury, we didn't want to scare any birds :-)
So we printed the picture in the background (do you spot the bird?) ... and put a small Peltier element at the back of the poster right where the bird is, to simulate body heat. You can see the wires powering the Peltier running down to the power supply...
So no birds were harmed in the making of the prototypes :-)
Now, just imagine us with a big, running hedge trimmer in our hand -- we think that Steven with the VR headset would look most scary. Probably another approach to saving the birds - scaring away all people who want to trim hedges during bird breeding time?
Shall we do a real-world test for a video? What do you think - let us know in the comments, please!
