VISIO

Introduction

• Visio is a data collection device used to collect human behavioral data.
• It a piece of custom built hardware that is attached to the spectacles of the user.
• The goal of this project is to develop a smart system that can fetch user physiological data and collect it so that the Data Science team can work on it.
• Please note that the hardware is completely custom-built and made from scratch.

VISIO : V1

• The first version of Visio is implemented, and will be used to do a primitive user study.

• This version has the bare minimum functionalities.

  • It has a Camera (OV2460) and a Microcontroller (ESP32).
  • The Microcontroller is interfaced to the Camera.
  • The system works on a request-response model.
  • The image can be fetched by making a get-request to the microcontroller's home address.

• These are some pictures of the Visio V1

  • (Will be added soon)

• The main aim of this version was to set up a working pipeline.

• The next version V2 will have more features and a better firmware to utilize all the available computational power.

VISIO : V2

• The next version of Visio will be focused on adding more features and optimizing the firmware.
• Various new sensors like IMU, Touch, Dual-Camera, etc are to be added. The exact list is not finalized yet.
• This version will be better than V1 in terms of efficiency, number of sensors, power consumption.

Goals

• The main aim of this project is to get the members acquainted with developing an Embedded system from scratch.
• The Embedded system includes the hardware, as well as firmware. Both are equally important.
• If you work on this project you will learn about Embedded Systems, firmware development, system design.

Prerequisites

• Basics of Electronics (Coursework of ES(First Year) is more than enough).
• Primary knowledge of C, C++, Python programming.
• Arduino basics.
• Willingness to devote a fixed time every week to the project.
• Work in a team.
• Willingness to learn.
• First 3 skills are a good thing to have. But if you do not know them, its okay. What matters the most is the interest you show in the project.

Resources

• Go through the resources folder in the repo.

Remarks

• This project is Electronics intensive, but a lot of CS concepts are being used. If you find this description of the project interesting do give this a shot.
• This will be a very good project to put on your resume.
