This week, I mainly worked on refining the idea for our Virtual Whiteboard that we presented in our abstract. We met as a team with Professor Mukherjee and TA Tao Jin to discuss our idea. Based on the feedback, I continued to develop and narrow down our use case to be basically just controlling the mouse in a desktop environment through hand gestures and motion. Our system would be able to move the mouse, left click, right click, and scroll just like a normal peripheral mouse would be able to. Along with this, I also developed more justifications for our requirements. Additionally, I began to look into datasets that we could use with a CV approach for implementing our system. I will also continue to work on the Proposal slides with my team before the deadline. Our project is currently on schedule and we plan on finishing our Proposal presentation and giving the presentation next week, as well as finishing the Peer Review.
