Study_Sphere

Inspiration - I was inspired by a problem that I faced on a daily basis. I would find my desired study spaces to be overcrowded which made it hard to study over there. This made my excursion unfruitful, which left me

frustrated.

What it does - We used two ultrasound sensors to detect the number of people entering the room. Using this and its maximum capacity of the room , we were able to deduce if the room was crowded or not. We created a website using JavaScript, react, node/express and CSS, using which we can track the dynamic value of the number of the people in the room.

How I built it

For the software aspect of the project, we created a full-stack web app using Node.js/Express and React for the front. It was a challenging yet fruitful experience. Using niche javascript technologies, we learnt about building an API so as to fetch regular data from the backend to the frontend, giving us an experience in full stack web dev.

Challenges we ran into: we were new to node and react. Fetching data from the hardware was intimidating, but a great learning experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of: We learnt a lot of things, more than we imagined, very quickly. For our first time in hackathon for a hardware project, it's a pretty good start.

What we learned: You have to start somewhere !

What's next for Study_Sphere: We'll have more study spots' details available on the app, and maybe upgrade to bluetooth in hardware.
