Agenda: To keep our group discussion active and share new ideas


Discussion: 

• We talked about the feasibility of the project idea "Strength Training". From our research, we realized the project is harder than we had thought. 


• Brilizen suggested changing the project to Car Information Station.
• In this project, we would have a similar interface to the Car Information Station project we had to design earlier this semester, except we would implement the Kinect sensor to detect body movements. The goal would be to design an app to control a smart car, like the Telsa touchpad, and sense movements to change/control functionality of the app. 
• For example, if I waved my arm to the right, the current screen or song would change. If I move my hand up, the volume would increase. 


• For homework, we said we would do more research on what kind of movements would be ideal in a car-like environment for the Kinect. (Full body movements cannot be implemented because the user would be sitting in the car)

Meeting Ended at 3:36pm.
