We spent this week mostly fine-tuning our proposal presentation and doing further research on the components of our project and how they’ll interact with each other. We also interviewed the principal at WPSBC (Western Pennsylvania School For Blind Children) to get a better understanding of what design preferences visually impaired people have with regard to guidance systems. Furthermore, we discussed the different ways visually impaired people prefer to receive information about their surroundings (i.e vibrations, audio, etc).
One of the risks that could jeopardize the success of the project is faulty and short-circuited materials and to combat this we plan to order multiple iterations of each material needed to ensure all components will be functioning correctly.
No changes have been made to the existing design of the system as of now.
No changes have been made to our current schedule.
