Our proposal presentation for this week was not satisfactory for us and our project idea for RotoCam was not fully fleshed out. In addition, the idea seemed outside of each of our areas of expertise since none of us had prior experience with video processing tools or techniques. As a result, we agreed that the project was unsuitable for us and the risk of an incomplete minimum product was rather high. Therefore, our team has decided to change our project and pursue a different idea.
Our new idea centers around an occupancy tracking system for a gym. Specifically, we want to keep track of which machines are being used inside the gym and gather data in terms of occupancy throughout a given period. For this we were thinking of implementing a series of proximity sensors to detect whether a user is currently utilizing a specific machine and report this data via a web-app available for the gym members and the staff as well.
