Project Risks and Mitigation Strategies
- A key bottleneck in the project is the delay in receiving the Raspberry Pis which don’t arrive until Monday. This impacts our ability to test power consumption and system performance. To mitigate this delay, Rebecca has already obtained the SD cards and has flashed OS onto them, so the boards can be booted immediately upon arrival. This will allow us to immediately start testing early in the week.
- If there are additional delays with hardware setup, we will proceed with software side testing on local machines and simulate hardware behavior to continue the development.
- Charvi already has profile, following and registration functionality figured out and she is integrating and debugging these components.
- Diya has set up gesture recognition locally and is currently testing its accuracy. If accuracy issues arise, we will adjust the model parameters, consider alternative gesture recognition models, or refine preprocessing techniques.
- Rebecca has drafted the headset CAD so a base exists for the mount points and, as mentioned above, prepped the SD cards and found instructions for installing and running OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi, to jumpstart our work on this.
Changes to System Design
- No changes to the system design were made this week.
Schedule Progress
- A few of the Rasppi-testing-related tasks expected to be done this week have been pushed to next week on account of the boards not arriving. No other changes have been made. Some of next weeks tasks may be pushed into spring break, on account of this delay and possibly underestimating the time the design report will take to write, but this slack time should catch all of it.
