Risks and Mitigations
Our team has fully integrated all the software side of the system. The biggest risk for now is the physical connections not having stable connections for long term use. Since we changed around our physical design pretty late and put in the orders late as well, we have to speed up the process of CADing the new design and connecting the camera, display, lights, and the SBC in a stable manner.
Another risk is to have the user sessions be intuitive (touch screen display being comfortable to use), since we changed our design from using buttons to a touch screen. We designed the UI to have menu items + ordered a larger display, but we plan to conduct user study pretty soon to gather more information on how comfortable it is to use our product.
Our latency risk has been mostly fixed this week by parallelizing our models with threads and shortening the preview. The blaze face also does a great job quickly capturing our face for each session. We will continue testing the latency to ensure that we consistently hit the target latency.
Design Changes
We are using a real mirror and a 7 inch display so that the user can more clearly see their face and the analysis results. These were the physical changes mentioned last week (we have decided to confirm on the changes). Our overall system has the same functionality.
Schedule
Our team is pretty much on track! We plan to focus on testing next week.
