Business Plan Writing

February #2

Business Plan Writing

Over February, I have been working on drafting the business plan for my product. Based on the resources that I found together with my mentor, I was able to follow the plan model and instructions to learn about the formal writing.

Since I have also been working on my Launch X business plan competition, I strengthened my knowledge and ability of data research and presentation. It corresponded with my signature plan document writing pretty well.
So I'm starting off the writing process with objectives and problem statement now. I will continue working on this in March and April.

More Tech Research

More tech research

This month, I did more research on sign language recognition technology. With my engineering mentor, I found various super helpful studies/journal articles investigating this topic. Some reveal the same concerns that I had: ambiguity of hand movements, poor performance of normal cameras, and ineffective computing model However, some others confirm my ideas: recognition nowadays can be achieved by deep analysis camera like Kinect and then deep learning neural network. Kinect camera will work to track movements, and deep learning network will then recognize the meaning.
I aim to follow this path and further discuss with my mentor to see how I can do a software simulation practically.
Also, I have got replies from Kitware company for further connection to its technical teams.
