Inspiration
We as Blugolds have a deep set passion for safety in industrial settings. We knew we could put this passion front and center at HackGB, and this was our lovechild.
What it does
EyesUp is a passion project designed to bring safety to the demographic that needs it the most: industrial factory workers. With widespread adoption, we could hope to see even a 30% decrease in accidents that result from inattention.
How we built it
EyesUp was brought forth into this world through the concerted efforts of our incredibly skilled programmer and networking specialist, with no small part being played by the mentors provided by HackGB.
Challenges we ran into
We initially wanted to train our own CV model, but we quickly realized that we would not have enough time or data to properly train it. We then decided to pivot to Jev, a new and emerging general classifier model, developed by TypeSafe AI. Not only was this decision exceedingly time effective, Jev is also incredibly token efficient: we put in $5.00 for our testing purposes, and we have not yet used a single cent.
What we learned
We learned how to bring our passion for safety to uncaptured populations, while balancing the delicate ethical and legal considerations provided by camera-powered functionality.
What's next for EyesUp
We hope to bring EyesUp to a wider demographic, so they too can reap the rewards wrought by safety improvements.
