- Working on connecting OLED screen to Arduino
- Machine learning model progress
- Continuing to compile/create data
- Training for an additional 32 sign language gestures
Risks & Risk Management
- No additional risks right now. With the interim demo approaching, we hope to have an integration of all our parts with definitive results.
Design Changes
- We opted for a different approach by shifting from cloud deployment to local processing on the phone
- Instead of relying on the app to interact with a database for data exchange, we are leveraging integration between the ML and CV Python scripts directly into the app package for streamlined retrieval. This is because the current video transmission process to the database raised concerns about reliability. This change also simplifies the app architecture and reduces reliance on external resources, hopefully leading to improved performance and flexibility.
Schedule Changes
- No formal schedule changes, but we will increase allocated dedicated time for collaboration next week to ensure adherence to the project timeline.
