Bondmate

Inspiration: We live in a world in which remote work has become increasingly common. There are two kinds of remote workers:

• The worker with a pet or family member
• The lone remote workers who is subject to isolation affecting mental health and well being

Our inspiration was to create a virtual companion "Bondmate" using Amazon Bedrock which is there for your throughout the day. Bondmate does the following:

• Combats Isolation and Loneliness for workers who have a lack of social interaction and team connection.
• Helps works with communication Barriers, reducing miscommunication and feeling out of the loop.
• Increases Motivation and Productivity for workers who face hallenges in staying focused and engaged.
• Help workers who have increased stress, anxiety, and risk of burnout.

What we learned:

• How to integrate Amazon Bedrock into Unreal Engine
• Implementing mixed reality
• Modifiying an AI Agent to be a virtual companion and empathize with the remote worker

How did we build our project

• We started the project with a very human centric approach with ideation and brainstorming
• Next sketches helped in mapping out the user journey
• Once we had an idea of the experience we built it in Unreal Engine parallel creating the bedrock agent
• We then crafted the experience making it seamless between the desktop and VR

Challenges we faced -Integrating the bedrock AI agent into unreal engine

• Making it a mixed reality experience
