Our team has been progressing well in our research and planning for the project. We’ve been compiling relevant papers and examining various approaches to inform our implementation. Additionally, we met with a researcher at UF to discuss his work in real-time facial analysis, which we hope to expand on as we develop our model prototype.

We’ve started working on our Project Roadmap for the year, which will help us stay on track with our goals and deadlines. We’re also beginning to finalize our model architecture as we wrap up the brainstorming process and literature review.

Next week, we plan to complete our general literature review and research specific technologies for our concept. Additionally, we’ll begin the process of exploring relevant datasets and setting up data pipelines. We also plan to start compiling information for the preliminary design review.
