Progress Update 10/6

IDEA: We want to create an indoor navigation app for the visually impaired

PROBLEM: Currently, we are unfamiliar with OpenCV and how to start using it in our code. Mr Lin has said he will help us by giving us a code he made as a basis for how to begin our app. Another problem is that we are unclear of how our user interface will look. It is not necessary to take a picture of what the camera is detecting since this app is for the visually impaired and they can't see what's on the screen.

On the bright side, we have a pretty solid idea of what we want to accomplish and we have a schedule for how fast or slow we want to accomplish our goals. As soon as Mr. Lin gives us his starter code, we can start analyzing it and begin to formulate ours. Until then, we will continue watching the OpenCV tutorials on Youtube to get a basic understanding of what we will end up doing so we are not totally lost when we start programming. In addition, we will work on getting a basic user interface that we can later change if needed.

Keep us in your prayers because this will not be easy :)
