Hugo and I have started experimenting with a variety of Qt's modules to understand how app features will be implemented later in development. We have also discussed methods of obtaining location information, as well as methods of facial recognition.
At the moment we are considering using OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) as the back end for facial recognition. OpenCV has a plethora of algorithms that will aid in the detection and recognition of faces. Since OpenCV's primary interface is in C++, it will integrate nicely with the C++ components of our app. The library has sufficient documentation and it is open-source, which is always a positive attribute!
Nico has been planning and designing the server-side part of our application. He has researched prospective classroom integration platforms for us to utilize. Mainly focusing on Moodle, we have decided that it will probably not be a practical method of hosting the server, due to issues discussed in Nico's post. In the coming weeks we will begin exploring other options for our server-side needs.
