Buffalo Museum Tracking System

The proposed system is a way to use either RFID or floor sensors that create pings that can be processed into a graph database system which would keep track of the traffic between various rooms.

Inspiration

Being able to process foot traffic in a unique way that can also benefit visitors

What it does

It implements lanyards that visitors can wear with a QR code on it and the lanyard can keep track of where visitors go while also providing a way to get more information about specific exhibits depending on the room they are in with the QR code.

How we built it

The neo4j site was used to simulate the graph database along with the use of google colaboratory to create the commands to modify it.

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out how to create a graph database was difficult because we didn't understand it, but we figured it out with time and were able to implement it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of being able to learn graph databases and see a viable way to use its functionality along with solving the questions in the prompt.

What we learned

I learned how to create a graph database and how to make queries and changes to it using python

What's next for Buffalo Museum Tracking System

Make the visual more aesthetically pleasing and find ways to lower the cost as sensors aren't exactly cheap.
