Status Report – Week 1 (Dhruv)

This week, I did a lot of work on the slides and presentation. I spent many hours researching the design of our product to figure out what devices to use. In particular, I spent time researching how to have constant connectivity to the cloud to have continuous image transmission. I also spent time refining the requirements for our hardware and software.

My role on our team is on the software side. Therefore, I also spent time researching how the location would work and designing the system for getting images processed. In particular, I decided that we would like to use something like AWS S3 to store compressed images daily. When the user wants their summary, a function will fetch all files under the S3 folder for the current day and feed it into a multimodal LLM to handle summarization. We will also tag each image with a timestamp and google maps location to get an accurate summarization of the day!

Other than working on the slides, I began to brainstorm on how exactly to attack this problem. We also began thinking of what orders to put in for our device.
