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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
