This week, I worked with Aaron to complete the integration with the RPi Zero with our web app and also continued to work on the onboarding and item addition on our web app. Since Joon’s timeline on the image recognition module will likely not allow for integration before the interim demo, I have decided to move ahead with the manual naming for items in our item registration process. I also spent time researching Bluetooth persistence for our web app, and currently, we may need to implement our mitigation plan of a bare native Android application with our web application included as a WebView. This is troublesome for some features we may want to implement, such as tracking lost items (e.g. “You left your notebook at Study Session”) or simply add too much to the user burden (if the user has to consistently open the app), so I’ve allotted some time to begin working on this during the coming weeks.
A bare-bones demo of our item registration process currently looks as so, and a demo of the interface update with our BLE tags can be viewed here.
Our progress is currently on schedule.
In the next week, deliverables I hope to complete include integration with Joon’s image recognition module (after the interim demo). I also plan to begin working on the mobile web push notifications for reminders/missing items as well as deletion of items on the web app, and Aaron and I will work together on automatic registration of tag MAC addresses.
