As a group we worked on setting up our various sensors with the raspberry pi and testing them out. Based on testing results and the distance and angle specifications for the ultrasonic and lidar sensors, I came up with a new design and worked out all of the math for a new sensor approach with 3 Lidar sensors, that we’ve decided to…
I was once again a bit limited this week in terms of screen time, etc. as I am returning from a concussion, but was able to use that time to start the object recognition work for the project. I installed Python and OpenCV and got them all set up. I started to read through the documentation for OpenCV, and work through the following tutorial to start getting a feel for it’s capabilities: https://opencv-python-tutroals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/py_tutorials/py_tutorials.html I downloaded several initial training images of runner’s,…

I designed the user interface for our iOS application that connects to our wearable and constantly transmits information from the wearable to a user’s headphones as depicted below. I additionally helped pick…
