Majority of this week was spent creating our HCI documents and making sure we shared the same vision with our clients.

We started research into the related projects and possible libraries that we can use. Milkdrop was a very old program but too stimulating for autistic children. Also had a very bad unintuitive interface, as expected from slightly older programs.

To stream the song, we decided to look into Spotify API, whose legal statement may not allow us to stream it as a school is considered public space. However, we realised that we needed to rely on musicsmatch to get the lyrics via an API but the free tier only allowed access to 30% of the lyrics

We met with our clients from NAS and Intel, trying to narrow down our project specifications.

The clients suggested a 3D rendering where the students could transform a 3D object on screen with their hands, e.g. pushing down on water to make it sink down or stretching a bubble around. After research, we decided that C++ 3D libraries may be ideal for our project given that it should be optimised for Intel hardware with 3D graphics.

In the second week, our MoSCoW requirements were created before refining it with our clients.
