The Scenic Route

Inspiration

It's a pain to always get the shortest route on a road-trip when you're there for the views, not the motorways.

What it does

Gives you the most fun path you could take from point A to point B - it's the antithesis of efficiency, and its the best route you could take. It does this by leveraging the expertise of an LLM, as well as a low latency routing engine.

How we built it

We focused on creating a seamless, simple UI by leveraging TypeScript and React, providing an interactive, intuitive application. The back-end of the system was developed via Python, which allowed us to make the best possible use of state-of-the-art LLMs, and tight, efficient coding.

Challenges we ran into

how to run npm (In all seriousness, fine-tuning the LLM and optimising the UX were challenging but fulfilling, giving us the opportunity to make the best possible web app for the user).

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of implementing an algorithm that actually selects the best roads to take based off potential views via a Dijkstra's altered algorithm. It was challenging to get to this point from just connecting notable landmarks in a straight line. We're equally proud of the simple, intuitive interface we managed to develop after multiple user tests.
