Inspiration

Inspired by the recent wave of suicides at Columbia, we want to make an app that can track user's emotion and provide recommendations as appropriate.

What it does

First, we prompt the user to provide an image of their face, either through camera or via existing files. Then, the user is presented a quote according to his/her current mood. If the user has a record of negative emotions (sad, angry, disgust, contempt, or fear), then the app will show a suggestion to seek Psychological Services at Columbia.

How we built it

We used Microsoft's Emotion API to do analysis on the image, categorizing it into 8 moods: neutral, happy, sad, angry, surprise, disgust, contempt, or fear. Depending on the analysis, quotes and suggestions are shown accordingly.

Challenges we ran into

Building an Android app for the first time, using Microsoft's API, designing interface

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Orange button ftw!

What we learned

Orange fits well with blue

What's next for Hackathon2017

Better user interface, more diagnostic, more suggestion types (other than quotes)
