Inspiration
Current quiz systems lack a critical feature: they can't verify if students are honestly attempting assessments. This gap inspired us to build a solution that brings integrity to online testing.
What it does
RetinaRank combines computer vision with AI to create an intelligent quiz platform. It uses eye-tracking technology to monitor user focus and engagement in real-time, ensuring academic honesty. The platform leverages Gemini to automatically generate quizzes and evaluate responses, creating a seamless end-to-end assessment experience.
How we built it
We utilized a powerful tech stack including:
- AI Tools: Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Lovable for accelerated development
- AI Engine: Gemini 3 API for quiz generation and evaluation
- Computer Vision: Custom eye-tracking implementation for focus detection
Challenges we ran into
- Building a document-to-markdown converter from scratch
- Integrating with the Gemini API and handling its responses
- Coordinating code integration across the team
- Managing deployment complexities
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We created a platform with genuine potential for global impact—one that addresses a real problem in online education and makes remote assessments more trustworthy.
What we learned
- AI models process markdown natively, leading us to develop our document-to-markdown converter
- How to effectively work with the Gemini API
- Practical applications of the Pydantic library in Python for data validation
- The concept and power of "vibe coding"—rapid AI-assisted development
What's next for RetinaRank
We envision adding a teacher dashboard where educators can create custom quizzes while students take them remotely. The system would provide instructors with real-time engagement analytics and cheating detection reports, making remote proctoring both scalable and effective.
