Open Questions and Next Steps

One of the biggest things that remains unsolved is the challenge of incorporating human emotion into the color that is picked up by the arduino and then produces a horoscope reading based on the color of their horoscope and the color of their feelings. Maybe instead of having the colors combined, we could show the arduino two separate colors, the first for the horoscope and then the second for the emotions. This would make the training of the machine learning model significantly easier because it would not have to parse the two colors from one shade.

Another comment that was mentioned during our in class critique was with regards to the physical product of the device and questioning how a user would interact with the piece of technology. Thinking about context and form opens a range of possibilities in terms of ideas we could take to further this project. After talking with our guest, we decided that it would be some sort of crystal ball type physical form that had a camera sensor to sense the two colors, and then would change colors to the combined shade and read out the horoscope reading for the day.
