Inspiration

IoT and change the way you shop Our inspiration comes from the idea of a market where the shopping process is easier thanks to the IoT.

What it does

Our app is map based. What does it mean? Supermarkets and shops have their business mapped and the shopper can know where a product is without knowing the place. You just search what you want and a map of the place will show the location of this product. Imagine that you go to a store like "Pull and Bear" and you previously saw a jacket on his website. You only have to open the app, search the jacket you want and it will show where it is. On supermarkets where you have a bigger area we thought into the creation of a smart shopping cart equipped with an Intel Edison board. That cart uses WiFi networks to triangulate your ubicación with a precision of +- 1m and connects to the costumer phone trough Bluetooth. That cart also can suggest the fastest way to go shopping based on a list of products you want using AI.

How we built it

We build that APP with Android Studio, Intel Edison and using Scalingo for the server side.

Challenges we ran into

We all 4 are noobs on Android Studio and this is our first App. Also, we never done a server side from an app.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of having a working app due to our Android programming level and have been implemented on it's 90% the Intel Edison triangulation system.

What we learned

We learned to work with Android Studio, the server side of the application and new ways of programming, like flask.

What's next for FiY - Find it Yourself

Find it Yourself can be considered now like a beta version. Weak graphics and interface but all can be improved with work. The connectivity between the phone and the shopping cart, and the AI for the optimal movement inside the store are hard points to work into.
