This week we mainly focused on the proposal presentation and trying to be as prepared as we could for that. We got some good feedback from our peers and really tried to focus on the lack of metrics we had for the testing phase. Now that we have a relatively formalized gant chart, we have a better idea of the big picture and what should be happening right now, so all of us are doing more research on the specificities of our respective tasks (Christina on torso recognition, Devon on clothing recognition, Judy on UI/mapping).

This week I finished up on the problem, solution, requirements, and software technical challenges slides of the proposal presentation. Devon and I listened and gave feedback on Judy’s presentation. We got good feedback from our peers and professor afterwards and we realized we really needed to have more defined metrics for testing and are discussing more specific metrics to judge success such as having 50% precision on matching fixed points with superimposing and 80% with warping within 2cm.

I presented our project proposal on Wednesday. I read through the feedback my peers had given me to take into account for our next two presentations and my future presentations. Now we are looking more into the design of our project because we are now beginning the design phase of our project.

I will be presenting the proposal presentation next week, so this week I worked on creating the slides and practicing the presentation. As a team, we worked together to outline the slides and divided up the slides to work on individually. I worked on creating the team schedule and also dividing up the work among us. I used excel to create a gantt chart, then as a team we divided up the tasks.

I did some general/preliminary research on the suggestions Marios gave us on various aspects of the project including Raspberry Pi vs. Jetson Xavier NX and various hardware costs. I also worked on the Use Case, Requirements, and Software Technical Challenges sections of the proposal presentation. I think we’re all starting to think more about attainable design which is great.

This week I worked on creating my slides for the project proposal presentation and editing our website. I researched software and hardware solutions for our project as well as brainstormed technical challenges we might face.
Team Status Report for Feb 20
Team:
This week, we had our first meeting with our advisor Marios Savvides. During our meeting, he gave us a lot of great advice on what materials to buy and which technologies to use to build our smart mirror. Next, we met to discuss the specifics of our project to incorporate them into our proposal presentation. We each wrote a couple of slides then we met together again to refine and polish the presentation for next week. Lastly, we set up our wordpress site and customized it so we could post our weekly reports as well as our slides onto the wordpress.
