Inspiration

One of our group members had a childhood friend whose family was from China. Every time our group member went to his friend's house, he felt welcomed, invited, and cozy, in a way that no place other than his own home made him feel. He eventually told his friend's mother this, and she explained that it was likely due to her implementation of the Chinese design philosophy of Feng Shui. Ever since then, he's wanted to learn more about the philosophy, but has had a hard time replicating that feeling at his friend's house all those years ago. To help with this, we decided to create Feng's Way, an app which allows for one to scan in the furniture in a room, and uses machine learning to suggest better arrangements of furniture according to Feng Shui.

What it does

Feng's Way is an app which allows for one to scan in the furniture in a room, using machine learning to suggest better arrangements of furniture according to the design principles of Feng Shui.

How we built it

We built this by using object scanning, machine learning, and a lot of math!

Challenges we ran into

We had a lot of trouble with implementing both scanning and understanding the math behind things such as reinforcement learning and the calculation of chi flow.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Everything. Everyone on the team did a great job, and we're proud of everyone's work.

What we learned

We learned a lot about machine learning, applying differential equations, and scanning in objects from the real world.

What's next for Feng's Way

We plan to refactor the code, add room sharing, and add more support for different types of rooms. Keep an eye out for future updates to Feng's Way
