Aneek’s Status Update for 2/15

This week I mainly worked on two things. First, I started reading the documentation on the Leap Motion SDK and its gesture detection. We are planning on using the controller in an inverted set up (facing down), and I discovered that it may cause some challenges in detecting hand orientation. Fortunately, that shouldn’t interfere with finger and tap detection but we will need to run some tests once the device is in-hand. I also drafted our system and software architecture and started breaking down the software into individual libraries that we can then divide up and work on. I also recorded our ideas on the initialization and the responsive animations.
