Team Status Report for 10/9

As a team, our biggest focus this week was learning from the Design Review presentations and reflecting on the feedback we received for our own presentation. The team discussed the feedback and how we would incorporate it as we began writing our Design Review report. Currently, as pointed out in our feedback, we do not have a lot of preliminary results so a lot of initial parameters such as distance from the camera and having people in the background will likely be the biggest risk that we would have to work around. As we wrap up our Design Review report in the coming week, we will also begin with creating the hand detection and gesture recognition components and testing them, as we should have our needed AWS credits and camera by then. The design and schedule are still the same although we will provide more details in the Design Review report.
