Progress:
-  Research into OpenCV with Microsoft Visual Studio software or Python software.

OpenCV with Microsoft Visual Studio:
Installation and Creation Process:

OpenCV with Python:
Installation and Creation Process:

-  http://docs.opencv.org/3.0-beta/doc/py_tutorials/py_objdetect/py_face_detection/py_face_detection.html#face-detection


Problem:
-  Python seems to unfamiliar to use. It would need time to understand it better.
-  Visual Studio, even though having a complicated user interface, has more resources for instruction.

Plan:
-  Use Windows laptop from school and begin hands-on visual studio work.
-  Download both Visual Studio and OpenCV, and have the OpenCV libraries accessible to the software.
-  Test object tracking using color method.
