Inspiration

We were inspired because all of us are currently students in high school, and we noticed that lots of students in high school and even college are stressed out and are always in a tense mood.

What it does

We wanted to make a program using one of Google's API's (Google Vision Cloud) so that whenever a photo of yourself is uploaded to the software, the API detects the emotion of the person's face in the image. If the API detects that the person is happy and doing well, it will tell the output that your fine and doing well. If the API detects the face of the image as sad, it will print out a motivational message to the user.

How we built it

We first got the service access code from Google Cloud so we could put in in Pycharm as a json file. Then we started the coding by using Python and we imported the Python packages that we needed to use. We then coded the if/else statements to determine if the person taking the image should get a motivational message based on their emotion in that picture. Last, we had to use the API to open the image and read and detect if the person is sad or happy. We plan to make more improvements with this software.

Challenges we ran into

-How to add the API service code into Pycharm -Original idea didn't incorporate Google API, so we had to come up with a new idea, and work on that.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

As beginners, we managed to use our very limited experience in coding languages and were able to work past our problems, and managed to get work done with more complex programs.

What we learned

To use API efficiently and the different ways it can solve problems. We learned as a group how to efficiently use time, and use more advanced programs such as Google Cloud Vision into our projects. ## What's next for Tipo We can expand upon the idea into popular social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter, as all of these are commonly used by the younger and tech-savvy younger generations. For example, if someone on Snapchat took a selfie, we can use Tipo to detect if the person taking in the selfie looks happy or sad. If sad, we can send them a motivational message and make them happy, or even we could put them on the phone with someone who could help them feel better about themselves.

Created by

I contributed to this project by coming up with the original idea of the google API Vision Cloud. Also, I helped find out how to buy the service code and add it as a json file to the ide. I also partially worked on the code, as I did the if/else statements that would send a message back to the user sending the picture.

Subhan Baig
I was able to contribute to the project by working on the main part of code throughout the weekend. I helped converting the api to python. I also worked on the code of the google vision and implementing it into our code.

Peter Choi
I worked on the code a little bit and also did research for trying to find out how to convert the php code to python. It took a while but I was able to contribute and our group was able to pull together. I also worked on the if/else statements that allowed the code to run a message.

Gautam Chintalapati
I made up questions that we would need to answer and their answers with that too. I also helped in creating our presentation.

Hasan Chharawalla
I contributed to this project by helping coming up with the idea for the project, writing a portion of the code, and helping implement our idea in real-world scenarios.
