Week 1 – Research, Brainstorming and Client meeting

This was the first week of our semester-long project.

[Production]

We met with our project client: Kim Hyatt, Associate Teaching Professor at Heinz College, CMU and Dave Culyba, Assistant Teaching Professor at ETC.

We went over the general goals and request of the project, as well as Q&A about some concept of technology and experience. After the meeting, we received research materials such as machine learning papers from them, and started reading, benchmarking prior products and extracting valuable parts.

Meanwhile, we have set up weekly meeting time with clients and advisors, as well as our core hours at ETC project room.

Technical wise, we set up our computers, requested testing devices such as Oculus Touch, Leap Motion, etc.

Internally, the team met together to discuss our capability and contribution goals for the project, and then set up a basic structure for team organization.
