Inspiration
Pat Sin Leng Wildfire took the life of 3 students and 2 teachers in the 90s in Hong Kong. 73 firefighters is killed in this year alone. Firefighters is still an underfunded professional relies on human intuitions and experiences.
What it does
Fly an airship to the affected area to monitor the heat map of the area. With the help of MSX technology and the sensors of the mobile phone we can easily build an app to continuously monitor the change of temperature of the area.
How I built it
Algorithm and android apps Here is the repo of the android app
Challenges I ran into
Algorithm and physics. The careless omission of gravitation force led us demo the whole concept in a controlled environment.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Overcome physical challenges and come up with a way to demonstrate the whole idea, with a result that we are very proud of.
What I learned
Murphy's law. Check the law of physics before making any hardware related stuff.
What's next for thermal_map_hackathon
Build the hardware and it is ready to go! Presentation
