Week 24: Prototype Inspection Day 2

This week the Gear Guardians presented their system at prototype inspection day (PID) 2. We showcased a greatly improved system since last semester – all hardware is integrated and functionality was able to be demonstrated with one doorway system one tag at a time. Our feature demonstration consisted of three main elements: the UI automatically updates what room a tagged object is in, a new tagged item can be onboarded, and a database conflict yields a pop-up error that must be resolved. We are excited to present our prototype next week at the Cade Museum!

Next week, we will focus on integrating the second doorway to our system to demonstrate system scalability. All logic has been working correctly when one tagged object at a time passes through a doorway. This logic will be adjusted to allow for multiple tagged objects to be accurately detected. We are now in the final three weeks until FDR. Go Gear Guardians!
