Inspiration

What inspired us was the track of new frontiers. In the world of education, any advancement that creates a feasible environment for learning is always needed.

What it does

With our program, we reduce the need for whiteboards and even the need for students to venture their way down a classroom to draw out their ideas. Instead, from wherever they decide to be that is in the line of a camera's sight, they can draw out their ideas right onto a presentation using gestures using a pen. All that is needed, is a camera and projector This is made for it to be an overall commodity and opportunity to increase accessibility in the classroom.

How we built it

We built our program using OpenCV which is a library of programming functions that allow for real-time computer vision. This was built using Python within VSCode.

Challenges we ran into

Drawing a continuous line and storing line segments as a drawing required alot of lower level algorithms because openCV only had primitive line functions. We also had to figure out how to detect only a certain color and size so the camera would track the marker accurately without any outside noise accomplishments: this was the first finished product we've come up with, and we were able to complete it in less than 24 hours

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are very proud to have produced working code and to have learned new tools that pave the way for more innovation in the future.

What we learned

We learned how to use new technologies and how to effectively work in a team.

What's next for anyBoard

What's next for anyBoard: taking into consideration user experience and implementing anyBoard to be applicable to popular presentation programs such as Google Slides, Powerpoint, etc. As well as, advanced gesture detection.
