Reflection on this Project

With additional time, I would have prioritized prototype testing to gather user feedback and make informed improvements to the physical and interactive design, enhancing the overall user experience. I would have also focused on refining the interface where the camera connects to the phone for sending images, ensuring a seamless and intuitive process.

Additionally, creating a physical model would have provided a tangible platform for testing key features and iterating based on real-world user interactions.
