Our team made progress on the eye tracking subsystem this week. We managed to set up the Tobii Eye Tracker 5, calibrate it accurately with our eyes, and gather data points from the data stream. There was also significant progress on audio. Currently, we are working through the challenging tradeoff of audio quality with storage.
This week, we focused on preparing working subsystems for the interim demo. The most significant risk after that will be integrating different subsystems. We are managing these risks by carefully considering what software environments we build in. For example, having a virtual environment for the frontend code and ensuring that those libraries and installations don’t conflict with known potential conflicts present in Tobii eye tracker software or our audio libraries.
No major design changes were made to the system – we are on track and proceeding with the components that our design report detailed.
