FoodAffine

Inspiration

30% food wastage. Use resources that we have efficiently. Our responsibility for future generations

What it does

Camera makes pics of bought food. Pic is evaluated in the cloud, added to food inventory, website shows which food I have at home. When I have used food, removal of item from food inventory

How we built it

Serverless computing with firebase and cloud storage from google, raspberry pi with camera + bluetooth connected nuimo from senic (smart button with gesture recognition), react ui, nodejs, + codinglove, not enough sleep

Challenges we ran into

visual recognition is difficult and challenging, seamless integration in daily routines

Accomplishments that we're proud of

serverless computing, rapitly building an end to end prototype, working with real devices, no fake,

What we learned

New technology stack, importance of sleep to not have a "Matschbirne", fixing problems with bluetooth, focused on tech & development, presentation last minute
