Our
group is slightly behind schedule, we are now awaiting the arrival of purchased
hardware which will allow the group to test our proposed design solution for
the extraction of streaming video and header information from the digital
camera to the laptop. Because we must wait till we have this hardware to do
anymore of the design work, this week our group focused on the less technical
aspects of our project.
This week we began
studying the rules and actual game play of a volleyball match,
and the different rules that are used in the game depending on what rule set is
being used. There
are a few variations of the rules in that are used in volleyball that are
mostly dependent upon the league and division a team is playing in. Our group
feels that in order to have an effective product we need to make our software
versatile enough that it can handle all of the different rule sets and have
options for all game play situations.
We need to gather this information in order to know what statistics need
to be recorded during a volleyball game, and also do design the software part
of our product.
Also this week a large
amount of time was devoted to 421-Eng Economics. Our group had to create a detailed business
plan outlining our intended customer base, intended product line and services
that are to be offered, pricing issues, and overall financials for our project. Our group had to do research
about and analysis, and make decisions about who we want to sell our products
to and how we want to handle pricing issues.
Our groups
website is for the most part complete and will continuously be updated and
revised to make improvements and provide a large array of information to its
visitors about our design project and group progress.
