As far as finding more specific direction at this point in time, I haven't really made too much progress. This session did however open my eyes to a wider range of areas to research and document. Seeing as one of the main criteria is research and development, I'm not too worried about my lack of direction and am just going to embrace as many ideas and avenues I can find.
