Analog Digital Calendar(ADC)

Working prototype
Our Scrum Board

Inspiration

Simplifies the management of different agendas in a household by using an analogue like device (paper calendar).

What it does

Takes the calendar data from google calendar and displays it in a QT Application. This application is then transferred to an e-paper display to show the content. To add new appointments a handwriting recognition is used which supports natural language.

How we built it

An e-paper display is connected to a raspberry pi. To control it, we wrote a small daemon application which loads the GU via a custom VNC client and sends it to the e-paper display using SPI. The calendar is currently only loaded from google calendar, although other sources are easy to add. Due to a defect touchscreen we used a wacom graphics tablet for the handwriting input. We convert the input to a image and send this to the google visions API. After that, we parse the result and create a new appointment from it, which is then insert to the google calendar.
