This week I created and inserted the instructional videos for the signs. There was a minor setback when doing this since we found that Chrome does not accept .MOV files. Therefore, I also had to convert all of the videos from .MOV to .MP4 so that the videos would show up on Chrome. Apart from that, I am also saving the user’s hand dominance after they register and log in. Originally, I thought I could save the user’s hand dominance by getting MediaPipe data. However, after discussing it further with the rest of the team, it was concluded that having the user explicitly state their hand dominance the first time they visit the website would be easier. I wasn’t able to do much else this week since I had a midterm exam for another class and I also contracted COVID.
Because I caught COVID, my progress is slightly behind what I anticipated. Originally, I planned for this week to figure out how to notify the users if they correctly/incorrectly did the sign, help with integration, and help with testing the model accuracy. Therefore, I am deciding to put user UI less of a priority for now. For next week, my main priority is to test the model accuracy during the weekend and continue helping with integration. If I’m able to catch up next week, another thing I hope to do is to add all of the tips that Hinna made for the users when they are trying to make a sign.
