Karen’s Status Report for 3/11
- What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or
photos that demonstrate your progress.
This week I worked on finishing the mapping function, and saving data using python pickle (was considering joblib as a backup idea). So far I am using some dummy gestures to test the buttons and data loading/saving function.
- Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be
taken to catch up to the project schedule.
I am still a little behind process because of a pop up event during spring break and I suddenly have to travel to somewhere with bad internet connection. I am planning to allocate next Tuesday entirely to sit down and go over the project so I can start planning integration with the ges rec mode.
- What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
Next week I hope to this piece of software to interact with the real model instead of dummy placeholders.

Karen’s Status Report for 2/25
- What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or
photos that demonstrate your progress.
This week I created a python file that creates a pop up window showing the possible commands and music effects that gestures can control. So far no actual mapping is done because we did not come up with actual gestures we are using yet. I end up using pygame because it supports a more fancy ui compared to pysimpleGUI and should be better for the users to use.
- Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be
taken to catch up to the project schedule.
I am a little behind process because I did not get the data saving part to work. every time the mapping will just reset, which is not good for usability. I am planning read some python documentation and tutorials to see if this function is possible and switch to a website if this is not possible.
- What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
Next week I hope to get the scroll bar and data saving to work in the interactive part, and get the gestures that we are going to use confirmed after looking at the models and their datasets.

Personally I did not accomplish a lot this week. This week I looked at tutorials on how to develop an app on different OS, and how to set up an interactive webstie that stores user input with cookies. I also created a list of backup models for our recognition function in case our first choices does not work as intended.

I think I am very behind schedule this week because of personal health issues. In order to make up for the time missed this week I will be spending the entire weekend this week and next week working on capstone related topics 🙂
- What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
Next week I hope to get the interactive app/website setup so we can pick a gesture from an existing list and link it to a sound defined by pitch in hz / and pick a tilt angle from an existing list and link it to a specific volume level in db. Currently it will not support the part about actually producing the sound, but it should be able to allow gesture mapping and selection, and will save the selected results when the app/website opens next time.
- ECE courses (if any) that covered the engineering science and mathematics principles your team used to develop your design
Not really? Most of the basic engineering design concepts I get are from my CEE course in year 1 and my ECE coverage course 17313. Also in the following weeks our group have searched up these terms on google.

Karen’s Status Report for 2/11
- This week I spent most of the time researching existing hand gesture recognition models (and part of its corresponding database) to observe the kind of items it consist and reevaluate the practicality of collecting our own data. In case we are not able to collect and train our own data, I want to find a list of practical existing models that we can pick from.
- This week I think I am pretty much on schedule in terms of researching for project implementation and design for the first half of the week, then I got covid so there is not as much progress as I would like in the later half of the week
- Next week (Feb 19) I am planning on finishing our project design proposal presentations slides with my group. I will be preparing and delivering the design proposal presentation (presentation 2) for my group.
