RIT Mobile Redesign

An update and improvement to the RIT mobile app including new features

Comment

Inspiration

We have found the current design of the RIT mobile application to be unsatisfactory, and we’ve also noticed some peculiar behaviors within the app that we believe could be improved. Furthermore, we are passionate about making a meaningful contribution to the deaf community at RIT. We believe that by addressing these issues, we can enhance the overall user experience and make the app more inclusive for all students.

What it does

A redesign as well as a new feature added in the form of an ASL to text translator

How we built it

We used Figma to demonstrate the ui and python libraries to demonstrate the ASL translator

Challenges we ran into

The primary challenge we encountered was the development of an American Sign Language (ASL) translator. Training and implementing an AI for this project proved to be a difficult task. However, after conducting extensive research and overcoming numerous obstacles, we were able to create the ASL translator.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We worked with AI, and overcame difficulties with debugging the AI. We also worked with UI and UX, with no prior experience, and created a finished project within the time frame.

What we learned

Throughout the course of this project, we gained a wealth of knowledge about AI development. This experience provided us with a deeper understanding of the intricacies involved in creating and training AI models.

We learned about the importance of data collection and preprocessing, understanding that the quality and diversity of data directly impact the performance of our AI.

What's next for RIT Mobile Redesign

With more time we would fully develop the menus, and test to make sure all of the screen connect properly to each other. Then we would work on and implement the AI ASL translator. Finally, we would launch our app onto app stores.
