Inspiration
Curiosity behind the Fermi estimations and it's accurate, yet somewhat counter-intuitive outcomes.
What it does
Takes a database and makes assumptions to judge relative scale and size to an accurate degree.
How we built it
Blood, sweat and tears.
Challenges we ran into
Learning new languages, differences b/w Java and Javascript, software to develop visual representations
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Develop mathematical algorithm for the database. Ability to read in and read out data. Using d3.js to create visual representations.
What we learned
Algorithm and efficiency, JavaScript, d3.js, encapsulation, central limit theorem and sampling mean and standard deviation.
What's next for Fermi Estimation
Artificial intelligence capability to add to database based on keyword search and online run through for fairly accurate value of assumptions required, speech to text input and output and 3-D visual representations.
