Inspiration

Prajeeth and Sid both have ADD/HD, which has had an impact on the way they work. Seeing this, we decided to make something that would be beneficial for people who are looking to improve their productivity by focusing more.

What it does

Uses eye-tracking and head orientation to determine whether or not someone is paying attention to their work. Also has a Pomodoro timer and a checklist to help people be as productive as possible.

How we built it

We built it using an OpenCV model we found online. From there we used the eyetracking software and Jacobian matrices to determine where the user was looking and then if they met a certain threshold it would alert them that they were not paying attention.

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out where the people were looking using OpenCV, making the python backend work with react frontend.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The UI, detecting blinks and posture and categorized types of websites (the last 3 didn't make it into the final project due to limitations)

What we learned

how to use react and python together

What's next for FocusUp

Improve it, implement features that were cut and remove bugs
