With a pair of glasses, what can we do?Feel the creativity of Zhejiang University at close range

What should I do if the child's attention is scattered and the sitting position is incorrect? Wearing "Focareus" smart glasses can monitor and remind children in real time to adjust the sitting position ... In the smart glasses hacker marathon competition participated in the 2020 level Turing -level undergraduate students from Zhu Kezhen College Zhejiang University, there are more than one such creativity.

This summer event was jointly organized by Huawei, City University of Hong Kong, Singapore National University and the Turing Corporation of Zhejiang University. 30 students from the Turing Class of Zhejiang University and 14 design students from the 14th design major formed 10 teams. In just six days, each team needs to learn new programming languages. Through the written Android program, the idea in the mind is made into creative smart glasses that can realize preliminary applications, and presents hand -painted design drafts and pleasant app interface. After fierce competition, four award -winning teams were selected.

"FOCAREUS" smart glasses: influence comes from hearty brainstorming

In a small classmate, the classmates were divided into several groups, sitting together, and warmly shared their creative ideas, and a brainstorm was open. As the "FOCAREUS" smart glasses team, which won the most influential award, they have gone through bumps in brainstorms.

From the beginning, the "FOCAREUS" smart glasses team focused the focus of brainstorming on attention monitoring. From office learning scenes to assisting driving scenes, design inspiration continued to emerge, and the team accumulated six or seven creative ideas within two days. "We were very excited when we thought of making auxiliary driving application scenarios. Everyone thinks that this idea is cool and promising." Yuan Zeqing, an undergraduate student of the 2020 Turing Class of Zhu Kezhen College, recalled.

However, a good creative proposal is often not achieved overnight, and more often it originated from the hardships of severe sufferings and collision with walls. In the middle of the event, the team integrated the idea of ​​the previous two days into a preliminary plan for the attention monitoring of the driver, and came to the stage to show it. The teacher gave different feedback on this.

Although the ideas are novel, collect a large amount of driving data and develop products in three days, which is too low. At this time, the adjustment of the plan is imperative and the team is confused. After one afternoon thinking and discussion, the team thought of developing children's attention monitoring related scenarios in the evening, and the development of the product stepped into the right track.

It was in this period of thinking that the team took into account the idea and social value, which eventually won the most influential award for them.

"Shaking" smart glasses: Computers and design have collided

After studying for a long time, let's play a percussion performance! Put on the "Shaking" smart glasses, follow the rhythm of the music, look up and turn left and right, knocking out a crispy and dynamic drum point.

Compared to simple information prompts and boring voice reminders, the cervical spine is more interesting in the audio tour mode, which won the "best design award" for the "Shaking" smart glasses team.

The idea of ​​combining audio tours and cervical spine exercises was just a small "seed". Under the intention of designing a professional classmate, it "rooted and sprouts". Elements are made into detailed and executable solutions. "Zhang Xiaoyu, a graduate student of Beijing University of Technology 2021, recalled. Computer majors then write procedures in accordance with the scheme to implement creativity to products that can truly realize their functions.

In addition, there are collisions and fusion between the two thinking. "A series of new concepts brought by design majors have made us refreshing and gaining a lot." Xue Chaoran, an undergraduate student of the 2020 Turing Class of Zhu Kezhen College. The ideas of design majors are often biased towards idealization. Computer professional students will take the actual consideration to pull these ideas back, so that they will not be too empty. In this way, the advantages are complementary and cooperated with each other, and the "Shaking" team has made a product full of design.

"Star Finder" smart glasses: creative construction on user needs

The best creative award -winning winner "Star Finder" smart glasses team did not rush to realize their ideas after proposing the idea of ​​identifying the stars. Instead, they first found Huang Zhen, the president of the Zhejiang University Astronomy Association for interviews.

Through interviews and investigations, the team learned that there are similar mobile apps on the market, which usually requires users to raise their mobile phones to compare the real starry sky with the star chart provided by the software. On the one hand, it will obviously interfere with the sight, because the mobile phone must be placed in front of the sight, which is very inconvenient to compare; on the other hand, the light emitted by the mobile phone screen will damage the eyes and affect the stargazing experience.

"We do this thing is valuable!" After the interview, the team members lamented. According to the "Star Finder" team, just wear a pair of glasses. Under the prompts of the voice assistant, you can find the target star. This eliminates the trouble of comparison and protects the eyes. Essence

Unlike ordinary curriculum homework, in this activity, programming ability is no longer the only dimension of testing learning results. The use of product thinking also needs to be valued. The team needs to focus on the point when designing and developing. "Sun Xinjie, an undergraduate student of Zhu Kezhen College 2020, mentioned.

As a result, interviewing and investigating target groups is an essential part of the product development process. The audience's affirmation is the biggest reward for the team, and it is also the value of the product.

"Once you lift up" smart glasses: A smart glasses that realize ground -to -earth engineering projects can help us start an astronomical exploration journey and facilitate daily life. "Once it is lifted" is such a pair of glasses that are connected to the ground. It throws away the concept of tall and choosing to be close to the daily life and reducing the inconvenience of the use of health code for people who live in the post -epidemic era.

At the final evaluation stage, the "Lift" smart glasses team has won the best engineering award. The establishment of this award aims to select the team with the most complete and most complete functional development of the program.

"Honestly, we did not expect to win the prize at the beginning." The tone of Xu Yuhang, an undergraduate of the 2020 Turing Class of Zhu Kezhen College, had a little surprise.

Because "one lift is called" smart glasses rely on action instructions instead of voice instructions, and the interactive system is direct, the technical difficulty is relatively difficult to develop, coupled with the grounding of design concepts Compared with other teams, it is slightly inferior.

At this time, the team will see more about the completion of the project, and to achieve the best effect of the product presentation.

Although the technical requirements are not high, they still encounter difficulties when writing code.

"I feel that it is too difficult to write a program that can run on my mobile phone for six days," Xu Yuhang recalled. Faced with the new programming language and complex sample code, "Suddenly it feels bad, I don't know how to do it at all." It wasn't until a little bit of questioning, and then overcome each difficulty, showing the finished works The highest degree.

Most of the students participating in the event are the first time they have come into contact with the hacker marathon, and it is also the first time that they want to land into actual products. In the process, there are confusion and gains. The instructor Zhao Junbo recalled: "The students showed unexpected innovation and engineering capabilities in the event. This is also the value of our activity."
