The problem Cookies solves

Every year more than 3 million people injure themselves due to the lack of supervision and thus hiring a coach or a trainer becomes vital when learning a new sport or hitting up the bars at the gym. We developed a novel solution that could totally take the coach or a trainer out of the picture by giving the wearer complete information of his posture and also tips on how he must correct himself to get the maximum out of his training.

Challenges we ran into

Hardware :

  1. NodeMCU couldn't interface with MPU6050 (Gyroscope) at very high frequency due to the reduced clock speed.
  2. Had to switch to an Arduino UNO and due to the lack of an ESP8266, had to bootstrap a server to send the data wirelessly over the device.
  3. Had to find a proper power supply for the Cookies.
  4. Due to the low bandwidth, Internet Speed was terrible and couldn't download most of the DL models.

Software:

  1. Macbook Serial Port Issue
  2. CORS !!!!! issue, when interfacing backend server with the frontend code
  3. Developed the complete solution in a react and 3.js Fiber.
