Pareekshith’s Status Report for 2/21

This week, I was the speaker for our group’s design presentation, so I had to prepare and review the content of the slides and our design to make sure I was ready for the presentation as well as any further questions. During the Q&A portion, Tamal mentioned that using Raspberry Pi 5s for the wearable node component could be risky due to potential inconsistency, so he recommended using earlier models like the Raspberry Pi 4. In light of this, my group and I decided to look further into the differences and the causes for concern, and we plan to discuss this as well with our TA Rhea and Professor Qing Li. Also, as the speech lead, I’m looking into finalizing the design and pipeline for the audio component, making sure the right data is getting processed by the right libraries to maximize accuracy and minimize latency. Next week, I plan to finish the design report with my team, order the necessary components (especially for the audio system), and begin the software implementation of the system.
