Zixuan’s Status Report for 2/27/2021

This week I read some papers and tutorials about OpenPose and looked into some projects using it. I also started to get familiar with OpenPose. It took me a very long time to install all the prerequisites of OpenPose and fix the errors. When I tried to configure and build it, I encountered some issues because my mac os is outdated and some brew packages no longer support high sierra.

I think the progress is on schedule and I will resolve these issues next week (hopefully tomorrow). I will also run OpenPose with sample images and compare some poses.

Maddie’s Status Report for 2/27/2021

This week I devoted my time to making initial plans for the user interface.  I sketched out a couple potential designs that we would want to use for our layout of both our Home Screen and our workout screen.  I also spent my time searching for some workout videos that we would want to use for our library.  I currently have a small selection of videos with a good angle and good lighting, as well as exercises that would work well with our game.  I plan to continue searching for more videos through the end of the weekend.

Next week, I plan to finish planning the interface layout and begin actually implementing the UI.  I also plan to start breaking the YouTube videos I have found so far down by exercise so that I can begin assembling the workout library.

Team Status Report for 2/27/2021

Currently, the most significant risk to the success of our project is that we are already behind schedule (based on our Gantt chart). We wanted to have our board by this coming Monday, but we haven’t ordered a board yet because we are potentially changing our first choice board from the Xavier NX to the Xavier AGX. This is because the AGX is available according to the inventory list, so it’s now within our budget. The only thing that is preventing us from finalizing our decision is that we haven’t been able to find as many resources for using OpenPose on the AGX as we have been able to find for using OpenPose on the NX.

We’re planning on finalizing which board we want to use by Sunday so we will still have time to get an NX approved by our TA and ordered by Tuesday. If we end up choosing to use an AGX, we won’t be very behind schedule because we could pick that board up on Monday.

Sarah’s Status Report for 2/27/2021

On Monday, I presented my group’s proposal. After presenting, I updated the “proposal presentation slides” page on our WordPress by replacing the plain URL with an into an image of our first slide with an embedded URL.

On Thursday, after all the proposal presentations, I looked at the instructions for purchasing stuff, and at the parts inventory list. I saw that there are 2 Xavier AGX boards available, so I started searching for tutorial videos/articles online about the AGX with OpenPose. However, it seems like there are more resources about OpenPose on an NX board. I will continue searching for more about OpenPose on the AGX, though, because it seems more powerful than the NX based on it’s specs.

Our progress is behind schedule because we haven’t ordered a board yet. We originally wanted to have it ordered and shipped by this coming Monday, but we haven’t decided whether we want to change our board to the AGX yet.

To catch us up, I want to choose a board by Sunday. This is just in case we choose the NX,  because then we can still get it approved by the TA and place the order so it can be ordered by Tuesday. If we choose the AGX, then we’ll be on schedule, because we can get it approved by the TA probably on Monday, and pick it up on the same day.
