One significant risk that we face right now is the development of the synchronization algorithm/heuristic. We were able to establish a Bluetooth connection from a laptop to the gloves via the Bleak library in Python. We are currently doing some preliminary research into connecting two Bluetooth connections at once to the laptop. We have a contingency plan of connecting the gloves and sending one stream of data to the laptop if our original plan seems infeasible. We are also exploring different strategies in generating audio output from the glove itself. We seem to be slightly blocked by our choice of ARDUINO so our contingency plan is maintaining speaker functionality from the laptop.
There have been no major updates to the design as of right now. We will closely monitor the situation with the speaker and Bluetooth in the upcoming week to see if any adjustments need to be made.
We are on schedule as we have started working on the construction of the second glove. We have essentially finished prototype 1 as well, making it ready for presentation during the interim demo.
