1 Executive Summary

1.1 Preparing for Customer Meeting and First Customer Milestone

The team is preparing for an important customer meeting aligned with First Customer Milestone. The focus is on ensuring that key deliverables are ready for presentation:

• Customer Presentation: This meeting will highlight the project’s progress, featuring requirements, mockups, and user scenarios to clearly convey the platform's intended functionality and user experience.
• MVP Features: For Milestone 2, emphasis is placed on finalizing requirements, developing mockups, and outlining user scenarios. The MVP will specifically include the following pages:
  • Sign-Up Page
  • Login Page
  • 3D Model View Page These elements are crucial for demonstrating the platform's core functionalities.

1.2 Key Concepts and Discussions

Key topics discussed during the meeting included:

• Semantic Search Implementation: The integration of semantic search was discussed in detail with the TA. The approach involves utilizing Wikidata to enhance search capabilities, allowing users to find relevant posts based on contextual keywords extracted from their queries. However, this feature is slated for development after the initial MVP.
• Accessibility Features: The team is conducting research on implementing sound cues to improve accessibility for users interacting with posts and buttons.
• User Engagement Mechanisms: The importance of basic interaction features such as likes, comments, and follows was emphasized, with plans for their inclusion in the post-MVP development phase.
