Welcome back to another update from EchoPilot!
We’ve been hard at work, and we’re thrilled to share our recent accomplishments as we continue to refine our project and push towards our goals. Let’s dive right in!
Prototype Showcase and Insights
Our journey towards refining EchoPilot took a significant step forward as we created a draft video for an upcoming in-class review. This video offers a comprehensive overview of our project, highlighting the problem we’re addressing, our innovative solution, and a glimpse into our prototype in action. We’re eager to gather feedback from our peers and further refine this presentation.
Project Visibility and Feedback
In addition to the draft video, we’ve also crafted a draft poster showcasing our project for display at the Final Design Review (FDR). Drawing on insights from our fellow classmates, we’ve received valuable feedback to ensure our poster effectively communicates the essence of EchoPilot and its impact.
Progress on FDR Report
As we gear up for the Final Design Review, we’ve commenced work on the FDR Report draft. This involved dividing volumes among team members and initiating the writing process for each section. By collaboratively tackling this comprehensive report, we aim to provide a detailed account of our project’s development and future prospects.
Enhancing Code Readability and Documentation
To streamline our project’s development process, we’ve implemented code documentation as docstrings. This not only improves code readability but also facilitates the creation of a comprehensive README file, making it easier for others to understand and contribute to our project.
Exploring Future Improvements
Looking ahead, we’re not only focused on the present state of EchoPilot but also on its future potential. As part of the FDR report, we’re delving into avenues for future improvement, such as exploring a Self-Querying architecture and implementing redundant chunking. By advising stakeholders like Freedom Scientific on these potential enhancements, we aim to contribute to the ongoing evolution of assistive technologies for the visually impaired.
With each accomplishment, we’re one step closer to realizing our vision of making JAWS navigation more accessible and intuitive for visually impaired individuals. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate and refine EchoPilot!
