After discussion of how the product would be worn by the consumer, it was decided the accelerometer would fit into a necklace. The top section would fold open like a book to act as a locket where pictures could be stored. Since the product will be a necklace, the group worked on designs to minimize the volume of the necklace to not make it uncomfortable or unsightly to wear.
The group also wanted the product to run independently of a computer so it could be worn and tested in real-life situations. To do this, the group purchased an SD Card Shield for storage of the data as the memory of the Arduino is not large enough for all of our graphs and data. A nine-volt battery and adapter for this were also purchased to allow the product to be powered without the use of a plug-in power source.
This week the group hopes to fully automate the product and finalize mathematical models to be used for testing.
