Lots of exciting events this week!

First, we’ve finalized our team name and logo: we are officially Team SyncAssist! We’ve made adjustments to our logo based on our classmates’ feedback, and you can see our newest design below. The main changes that we’ve made are removing the glasses from the gator to make it more inclusive of blind and visually impaired people, as well as adding our team name to the logo.

We also met our liaison engineers Sriram and Jake in person for the first time! In this meeting, we did a live walk-through of JAWS’ Tandem feature and discussed some of its advantages and limitations. We also nailed down plans to do a live demo of our WebRTC and Electron findings in our meeting next week, and had dinner at Sohao Cafe afterward!

In more concrete measures of our project progress, we’ve set up our team’s GitHub repo and have split into frontend and backend teams to streamline our research process. We’re planning to demo screen-sharing and remote access functionalities next week, and look forward to seeing our project come to life!
