This week, I spent my time working with Gram and Xuan on finalizing some key design decisions. We discussed the the specifications for the gestures that we intend to implement in our project as well as determine if these gestures are intuitive. This part took a bit of thinking because we wanted to make the gestures distinct that users would not accidentally perform a gesture they did not intend. In addition, we are also considering an alternative design for a non-ML-based system which would end up having smaller latency.
Aside from discussing these design decisions, I also assisted in creating a more detailed block diagram for the entire system which elaborates on the protocols between each of the modules as well as enumerates all hardware components in each module. We can then tie all the things we purchased back to this diagram.
So far, I think we are on time in terms of our schedule and the next part of the work would be to finalize all of the design decisions formally in the report.
