We explored different languages, interfaces, and applications that can be used for creating user interface that can be visualizing sensor inputs. One of the interesting platform was Glitch, that allowed hosting server on different devices an can also easily integrate AR on the web.
I wrote an application that can be used for my final project. The main goal was to create a web app that allows users to log in and keep track of all the ingredients they want to buy. To integrate with a touchscreen monitor as an output device, I uploaded the website to a global server, making it accessible on a touchscreen. Users can interact with the touchscreen to add or delete ingredients, and the list is saved on the webpage or a phone, so that they can access from anywhere. Some of the technical challenges I solved include saving data locally and enabling the ingredient list to be read aloud either automatically upon reload or manually by pressing a button. Though I stopped here for the week's assignment, I am planning to add proximity sensor so that when you're close by, then the display will be turned on and read out the ingredients to buy.
