Weekly Update 2/15/2010

What did we do this week:
This week we started working to install the Kinect drivers.  We are still waiting on a Kinect so progress here is minimal.  The team worked to try and understand the OpenNI/NITE framework that we will be using.  Documentation is not very good on the frameworks so a lot of energy must be spend attempting to learn the frameworks.

Problems:
Just like last week, our biggest problem is that we don't have an actual Kinect.  We finally got a Kinect on Wednesday so we can finally start working on the project.

Project Status: 
The project is finally picking up.  It had been stalled all night but now that we have one Kinect we can start slowly working on the project.  More Kinects will allow faster development.

New Ideas:
Due to the relatively low amount of work being done while we wait for hardware there have been no new ideas about the project.

Next Week:
Planned:
We hope to have hardware this week so we can begin to start getting our hands dirty working with the actual Kinect. 

Goals:
If we can get hardware then everyone should have the drivers successfully installed.
