Project #1 (Oct 2018 – Jan 2019)
SPOT - AR based retail store application
Millions of people get affected by allergic reactions like
anaphylaxis by consuming food products that lead to life-threatening medical
emergencies. SPOT helps the consumer to select and compare the right food
products in the
grocery stores using Augmented Reality by taking advantage of Machine Learning
to filter and suggest the best item based on 12 different criteria like
low-calorie food, food with no caffeine, food with no ingredients they
might be allergic etc.
My team was selected by Microsoft from 28000
students to represent India to compete with 12 teams from 20 different countries
in the Asia Pacific region at the International Convention Centre
in Sydney, Australia after being declared as the winner at the Microsoft Imagine
Cup 2019 India Nationals. We were given the opportunity to present our idea to
6000+ Entrepreneurs and Developers from all over the world
at the Microsoft Ignite 2019 after successfully competing with 6000
undergraduate students at the HackHarvard 2018 Hackathon organised by the
student council of Harvard University, Boston. The idea was appreciated by the
senior managers of Microsoft and titled it as a "Billion Dollar Idea" that has
the potential to create a very new industry in the field of Augmented Reality.
We were featured by various international media publications
including NDTV, Times Now, News18, Business Standard and New Indian Express.
