Inspiration

We wanted to do a smart dashboard but not like all the others; we wanted a physical aspect as well. Introducing Big Red Clock, our design incorporates a smart dashboard into the standard wall clock.

What it does

Our clock face uses fiducials to project a smart dashboard (news, weather, and the clock face). This brings a touch of modernity to an everyday item.

How we built it

We used fiducials on the clock face to allow for tracking for the projector. We used AWS to host our display site with a backend written in NodeJS and the frontend written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Challenges we ran into

Coming up with an idea we were passionate about and balancing what we already knew how to do with the learning curve

Accomplishments that we're proud of

3D modeling our prototype, our team learning development

What we learned

How to use Node JS, AWS services, 3D modeling programs, and how to work well as a team

What's next for Big Red Clock

Working on the projecting and camera tracking as long as polishing our website and adding more customizations for the end-user
