What it does

  • Allows group pilgrims (family, friends, etc...)to track each other in real time through Hajj period.
  • Our system is open to extend the capabilities to prevent life and health loss in case of stampede.

How are we different

  • Everyone in the family does not need to have a smartphone on them to track their loved ones.
  • We use smart wearable bands for live location tracking and one phone would be required to see the location of every band on the map.

  • Mobile application for tracking the location of each band.

Challenges we ran into

  • To find how can we can effectively solve the problems which available applications unable to solve.
  • Tracking real-time location updates from the database to the client.
  • Simple and intuitive design.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Minimal Human to computer interaction.
  • Real-time location tracking using firebase from android.

What we learned

  • Firebase
  • Prototyping
  • Heatmap
  • Human emotions

What's next for F077 iHajj

  • Track and monitor the vital signs of each person wearing the band
  • What 3 words library can be used for more accurate locations up to 3x3 meters].
  • Let Hajj admin monitors (automated in future) crowd behavior and gives instruction on the fly to the pilgrims to prevent a stampede.
