Team Status Report: 2/19/21

Our project has shifted focus away from the original idea; rather than using RFID to read cards and CV to read chips to make information easier to use, we are trying to create a table which speeds up the game through usability. This involves creating a system that automatically goes through the players in the order of the game and tracks their actions and bets during each round, allowing the dealer to have an easier time running the game. We dropped the RFID idea and instead are opting for a camera that sweeps through the table, stopping at each player’s position to read stacks and bets along the way. The plan is to display information such as pot size and player’s stack size that are available to users on online/virtual poker in real life poker. While changes are expected to happen as we go along, we feel our current objective is much more exciting and useful than our previous one.
