What are the most significant risks that could jeopardize the success of the project? How are these risks being managed? What contingency plans are ready?
The most significant risk to our project is ensuring that the new time-of-flight sensor has the same expected performance of the originally planned depth sensing camera. Before making this change, we did some preliminary testing, so this was a calculated change. From what we have seen it has good performance and we need to ensure that it has the same performance on the actual system.
Were any changes made to the existing design of the system (requirements, block diagram, system spec, etc)? Why was this change necessary, what costs does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward?
We changed the depth sensing camera in favor of using a time-of-flight sensor. Since this sensor is really cheap, it had a negligible impact on our budget.
Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred.
There are no schedule changes as of now.
