Due Tuesday, March 16, our group is supposed to present a "Tech Tutorial" to the rest of our Senior Inquiry class on a chosen technology. Our group chose to present on how to access your phone's camera using an app made in Android Studio.  Originally we had chosen this particular technology since we planned on using the device's camera to take pictures of textbooks for our in-app textbook marketplace, but the marketplace as a whole has been designated a "wish list" item at this point in time.      In fact, the marketplace is not the only item that has been moved to "wish list" status. We received feedback  for our official team project proposal this week, and our list of desired features in our app was deemed a bit too ambitious.
