Project summary and first status update

Since this is our first blog entry I think it's appropriate to include a quick summary of what our project is going to be.

Project Summary
Our proposed application is intended for Android tablets and our target users are people with different types of colorblindness. The application will allow users to select, or take, a picture and then using the different features the user will be able to identify different colors in the picture or "highlight" areas of certain colors. One goal of the application is to describe colors using english words rather than simply RGB values. While the users will have the option to view things in RGB values, being able to click on an area and see text saying "light purple" will be more helpful for the average user.

This Week's Progress
During the past week our group identified different tasks of the application and created textual and graphical representations of HTA's for the tasks. Each member of the group took one task and we did one task in class together

Together- Saving an image that has been changed (certain colors highlighted)
Thomas- Selecting an area to find out what the color is
Lindsey- Choosing a color that you want to see highlighted
Andrew- Changing user settings
Ian- Selecting a picture or taking a new picture

We met on Thursday to check up on each other and see where we were all at with our HTA's. We all had our HTA's completed although there were a couple of suggestions we had for each other before we submitted them on Friday.

Next Weeks Progress
During the next week we will need to start working on the SRS for this project. While we already have the HTA's completed, there are a lot of other sections of the SRS we still have to do and after class on Monday we will start dividing up the different sections to work on individually. Then on Wednesday we can get back together and see where we're at and whether or not we need to meet again before the first deliverable is due.
