This week, I’ve been working on figuring out what might be causing the unexpectedly poor performance of our wand gesture recognition system. One possible issue I identified is related to the timer used during data collection. Previously, each gesture was recorded over an 8-second window since there is issue with our code for the timer set up, which may have introduced a lot of irrelevant or noisy data, especially since most gestures take only a second or two to complete. We recently fixed this by adjusting the timer so that each gesture is now recorded for 1.5 seconds instead. Alongside that, we also made updates to the code to support the new timing setup. Right now, I’m testing to see whether this change leads to improved model performance. I am still stay on track, and would finish by next week.
