Venmo Ticket Dispenser

Team: Andrew Lu

Every year, cultural student organizations such as TASA and HKSA host a night market at Storke Tower. These events sell food using tickets as currency. You have to buy those tickets before you can participate in the night market. The line to purchase said tickets can take up to 30 minutes, regardless of the method you use to purchase the tickets. No one likes waiting in line. Absolutely no one. So let’s attempt to fix it by automating purchases. How?

Since many students use Venmo to make purchases, we can set up a kiosk to automatically print tickets. This will be done using an Android app that automatically scrapes the owner’s email account for Venmo emails and prints the tickets for the user.

Photonetic

An intonation correction app for violinists. The app will also be providing auxiliary feedback/tools while practicing.

• Feedback on Intonation: Points out where the notes are on chart to give beginner a sense of relationship between notes.

• Relating the notes’ tone to color: At early stage of brain development, many child prodigies developed perfect pitch by relating them to colors. While it is hard to develop for an adult, repetition on such feed back will be a very good way to develop musical imagination and remember.

Ball Battle

An app to facilitate the harmony between you and your housemates during this pandemic

After choosing an AR background (e.g. maze, forest), each player will start with a 3D ball of the same size. The ball grows and shrinks when eating different game props. Larger balls can chase after smaller balls and knock them out. The largest ball survive in limit time wins the game (and don’t need to wash the dishes ;).

Finally, the app will update the user with up to date news stories from large news networks concerning the coronavirus, so they are ready for the impending apocalypse.

Pantry

In this time of crisis, it is important for us as a society to come together and help each other to satisfy basic needs and limit the movement of people to reduce the transmission of the virus. The main objective of our app is to create a user-friendly GUI for users to communicate with other users in their neighborhood/ community by creating events for day-to-day activities like grocery shopping, car-pool, club activities etc. With Fellowed, a user can create an event (like grocery shopping) and other people within the neighborhood can place a request for purchasing specific groceries or join the user in the event. The user has complete freedom to accept or decline the request.

Scopen

Team: Jeff Longo & Byron Aguilar

• To find a way to plot the voltage waveforms in a way that best uses a phone’s display
• To create a WIFI communication link between the wireless oscilloscope and the user’s phone
• Allow the user to communicate to the oscilloscope to change settings such as voltage per division and time per division
