This week, we had our Preliminary Design Review (PDR) presentations during class and presented it to our peers for commentary and evaluation. This is the first draft of our PDR, so with the feedback that we receive from our peers and coach, we hope to be able to improve and work on it for our final PDR presentation to our liaison next week.

The 3D Unity environment and the Github repository has also been set up this week and the team has begun development on the scene and user tasks for our first initial prototype. The team aims to continue development and adding navigation mechanics for blind users once the main scene and objects have been added for the user tasks that will be performed during testing.

Finally, the team had the pleasure to meet our liaison in person for our weekly meeting and have a dinner together downtown! Below is a picture of our whole team, including our coach Ronnie, and our liaison Sriram. Through the meeting, we were able to narrow down our scope even further and plan to create a document that includes specifically the needs and requirements of user needs and the prototype for the following week.
