Main Accomplishments for This Week
- Proposal presentation
- ML library research
- Inventory item analysis
- Codespace setup
- OpenCV & MediaPipe initialization
Risks & Risk Management
- Risks: Although no significant risks have been identified at this point, we received feedback from faculty about their concern about our dataset collection. The collection process might turn out to be much more troublesome than we anticipated if our dataset source is largely dependent on our own capture.
- Management: Thanks to the valuable suggestions from the instructors, we decided to explore kaggle or other sources. Sejal started on researching some existing datasets, including Kaggle’s ASL Alphabet Dataset on Kaggle and Sign Language MNIST (grayscale). This change will not affect our schedule in timeline (we assigned one week starting from 2/14 for data collection), but will add Ran to assist Sejal in the process.
Design Changes
- We added a text-to-speech and vice versa feature as a reach task (post-MVP feature). Inspired by student questions from the presentation Q&A, we consider this improvement will significantly add to the overall user experience in real-world scenarios.
Schedule Changes
- No changes have occurred.
