I am Nirav Patel, currently an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at Carnegie Mellon University. Most of my OLPC related activities are documented at my website: http://eclecti.cc/olpc
== [[Google Summer of Code]] ==
I participated in GSoC 2008 with OLPC. My project was developing a camera and computer vision library. My implementation was through adding a camera module and several computer vision functions to [[Pygame]]. While it is available in the [http://www.pygame.org/wiki/cvs Pygame repository], it will not be released until Pygame 1.9.0 in early to mid 2009.
You can track historical updates for the summer with my [[User:Nrp/Weekly_updates | Weekly Updates]].
== [[Student Technology Outreach]] ==
I am a program coordinator at [http://cmustoc.org STOC], a club at Carnegie Mellon University. We are building up an [http://wiki.cmustoc.org/wiki/OLPC Activity development team], and should have some wonderful things out soon.
== Activities ==
=== [[Bridge]] ===
Daniel Drake and I wrote this during the OLPC Physics Game Jam. It is currently being rewritten by STOC.
=== [[Panorama]] ===
Donald Cober and I wrote this during the Yahoo! University Hack Day at CMU. It is going to be rewritten by either STOC early next year, or me during winter break 2008-2009.
=== [[Colors!]] ===
I helped Wade Brainerd with the videopaint portion of the activity. This is something that will be improved upon when I have more free time.
=== [[Pointillism]] ===
Nifty little camera demo that makes live capture look like pointillism. It is basically just a demo for the pygame camera module.
