V.O.I.D - Virtual Operated Intelligent Dorm

Created on 26 Oct 2017

You won't even realize it's there ...

Do you struggle with juggling schoolwork, activities, and life with newfound home chores like cooking and cleaning? Have you ever been locked out of your own dorm without your phone or card? Well look no further. The CS/ECE team at Rez has tackled this problem by upgrading their room to complement their lifestyles while having a fun time learning about and working with AI, Computer Vision, sensors, and more! We emailed the plan for Track 2!

Interface looks snazzy, OTA uploading is a lifesaver

Light switch works well! Sadly couldn't use our own design since the servos we salvaged were sized differently from the ones we intended to use
