Update 09/25/16

In this week's meeting we shared the information we discovered regarding the localization part of our application. We found that iOS does not allow for the collection of low-level data, i.e., wireless access point information. We have yet to do research to determine a method of gathering this information on iOS. Dr. Kuo said she would inquire about collecting WAP information on iOS. Implementing this feature would increase our sample size in the user study that will be performed later.

Dr. Zheng proposed that we focus on the authentication aspect of our app so that we have some basic functionality. There are two priorities for this:

1. initial login functionality (user profile initialization)
2. ensure that PIN entry works

We will begin with a simple PIN authentication method and add other methods (QR code, pattern) after we have the PIN authentication functional.  At the moment, we are planning on having the PINs generated server-side, where they will be compared with the PINs sent from the student app.
