Future 0.68

• We hope to increase the range of items that our device and detect.
• We hope to integrate the model, and other design concepts such as part of the user interface into the device.
• We hope to get more user feedback on the device.
• We hope to look into ways the costumer can customize the device for whichever space it'll be in.
