Inspiration

The pandemic has taken the world by surprise and we had to swiftly change our habits. Working from home or even in a socially distant environment makes it hard to adopt new habits with these changes in the working environment.

A decrease of productivity is as a result a common problem that a lot of workers face. Through this project, we aim at providing a tool that allows the workers to enhance their productivity by keeping their activities in check and accumulating a score based on these activities. The activities are divided in two main categories: central and peripheral. The score will depend on both of these classes, because lifting weights in a work break is also a sign of productivity !

Opus means work and Motus means motivation in latin. This project aims at increasing productivity by keeping track of your effort put into work and other activities.

What it does

The ground principle is inspired from the Pomodoro technique. Having units of time that alternate between work and breaks. The breaks will help you assess your productivity.

The activity detection allows the allocation of a score based on the accumulation of the activities. A higher score will be allocated to the main activity and smaller scores for important but non central activities.

At the end of the day, an evaluation will be available to assess your productivity.

How I built it

Activity detection uses a prediction API from the Custom Vision of Azure: it allows the detection of the current activity (coding, cooking...).

Challenges I ran into

Web development is not a top skill of mine so I had to learn many things. Also, a lack of time as I couldn't dedicate the whole weekend to the hackathon and for this reason I didn't build a team.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The idea is for me a cool one, tackles an important issue and can be implemented without worrying about practicality and how it will transpose in real life.

What I learned

Using Custom Vision AI from azure. Also, web development is not a top skill of mine so I had to learn many things.

What's next for Opus Motus

In the future, an enhancement of the overall look and the functionalities of the app is going to be implemented. We will also include more activities suggestions during the break and give some recommendations to the users. For instance, pointing to them that they can eat more healthy based on the food images can be helpful.
