Reflection
I learned a lot about connecting 2D interfaces to 3D implementations through this project. Additionally I learned a lot about how sensor choices can affect important design factors such as ergonomics (in this case the choice to do a fingerprint sensor meant that we needed to adjust our design so that it could comfortably accommodate someone lifting their arm towards the sensor area). I had a lot of fun playing around with the fingerprint sensor and learning Processing through this project.
More importantly though, this project made me think more deeply about privacy and safety. One thing that I contemplated could have been improved as we reached the end of the project was making sure we prioritized users feeling safe and secure using our system. For example, could our system have had a privacy screen or a hood of some sort? Additionally, I came to wonder what measures, beyond the design my team had worked on, would need to be taken in order for a system like this to truly be secure and to keep people's information secure.
