Paid Technical Internship at Tri-Lite Technologies (Manufacturers of World's Smallest Augmented Reality Technology) https://www.trilite-tech.com
A darkroom setup I built independently to measure the modulation transfer function (MTF) of an inbuilt laser projector in a competing phone
At Tri-Lite, I was lucky to get hands-on experience with what it's like to be a real engineer. In my time there, I
- Conducted rigorous lab testing to compile performance statistics for investors
- Learned about fast-fourier transforms and coded a program implementing those to measure the Modulation Transfer Function (resolution test) of various competing lasers
I coded programs to generate images of different lines densities with different color profiles to try and understand and reverse-engineer the image processing technology used in competing products.
I then had to learn how to code an image analysis tool to figure out the relative intensities of the bright vs. the dark spots independently.
3D modelling and manufacturing a part designed to hold the phone we were testing that was compatible with the existing tools was fun! (and now I (almost) know how to troubleshoot misbehaving 3D printers
I conducted scientific testing to determine how internal brightness settings correlated with radiant flux
Independently prototyped, designed, sourced, assembled, and tested safety enclosure for Class 4 laser, making sure it met international safety standards
