Multi-Part Violent Weapon Detection System

• 

  Framework for our project

• 

  3D model

Inspiration

We were inspired by the recent and unfortunately very frequent tragedies of gun violence. Although gun violence can never be completely solved in the world, we hope to contribute to efforts to reduce tragic incidents.

What it does

Our device has a hardware component and a software component. The hardware component is the actual device itself while the software component is an accompanying website displaying additional features of the device. Additionally, the hardware device will have three capabilities. It can scan for weapons in public surroundings, then check if those weapons are properly registered by scanning a serial number, and then if it finds the weapon is not properly registered, which would indicate an unsafe situation, the device would disarm the weapon and alert the authorities. The overall goal of the device is the hope that we could prevent more possible instances of violence and deaths with deadly weapons.

How we built it

For the proposed hardware component, we used Fusion 360 to create the 3D model of the device. For our software component, we used Svelte to create the website to help support some of the features of our hardware device.

Challenges we ran into

Because we were all new to the complex parts to technology such as ours, we had to do a lot of research about understanding various relevant concepts. Additionally, a new tool we used was Svelte for the software component of our device, which meant we also had to figure out the right documentation to create a website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of being to learn new tools within the limited time period and of being able to come up with an impactful idea.
