Remember Me

• 

  Just an example of the facial detection and the name assignment.

  Another example of the facial detection and name assignment.

Inspiration

I recall a time when I had trouble remembering people's names. I would walk into a room with new people, meet a couple, and perhaps only remember 1 or 2 names. Thus, I wanted to create an app that would solve this problem.

What it does

It detects the faces of whoever is in the taken photograph, and boxes the faces. Then you can assign names of the people and it will display on screen.

How I built it

I used an API called Microsoft Azure, an API that detects faces when given an image.

Challenges I ran into

I had to find out a way to box the faces, and to do that, I had to download the image on the phone and upload it to Firebase 2 times.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

When I ran my app and the faces appeared on the screen with boxes on them, I was more than excited.

What I learned

I learned that although coding may be strenuous and tedious at times, when everything works correctly, it is worth it in the end.

What's next for Remember Me

I want to add a quizzing feature that will quiz the user on the names of the people whose faces are on the screen.
