One of the main concerns for the project is ensuring the functionality of the sensors is fully in-line with the intended use case. Specifically, we still need to decide whether we are using either an ultrasonic, laser or LIDAR sensor for identifying objects in the blindside (rear) of the user’s vehicle. Based on which sensor is selected, it then determines where the system needs to be located on the vehicle. In the same vein, it is important that we research and test all possible options in order to make an informed decision.
Following this, another consideration for the project is connecting the data from the “object detection” sensor and sending this to the vibration system on the wrist band in a timely manner.
NEXT WEEK DELIVERABLES:
One main task for the upcoming week is making the purchase requests for the different hardware and software components for our system.
