With due regards to the makers of IronMan 1/2/3, Her, Total Recall (both old and new), here are some Project Ideas on IoT which I feel is required to be built.
Project Ideas:
- Emotion Control
- Benefits: More and more people are suffering from stress related ailments and diseases. Stress leads to changes in emotional responses like anger, fear/excitement to daily events. An IoT device that estimates one's stress level and provides primary alerts and secondary alerts either to indicate the stress level or to take precautionary measures will be useful.
- Implementation: The device will eventually boil down to a wearable (watch, etc.) that will sense/measure/track body vitals like breath, blood pressure, heart rate and maybe even get a visual of the person. Based on these data, an estimate of the person's stress level will be made using algorithms and then alert the primary and secondary users (doctors, parents, friends) when the person is getting stressed. A doctor's help would be needed in estimating the stress level.
- Challenges: Device power consumption requirements, form factor i.e. can it be designed to be seamlessly integrated into your daily life, customization, how to manage false alerts?, cost, etc.
- Jarvis
- Benefits: A personal assistant/virtual friend that understands your mood and customizes your home environment to suite your taste. Jarvis will be a robot like device that will control your home modem/WiFi router, lights, fans, AC, appliances using IoT enabled devices to create the best environment as per an individuals personal preferences. Jarvis will also be able to talk to you and maybe even see you to understand your mood.
- Implementation: 10-15 IoT enabled devices to control various electrical appliances and equipment in your home. 1 IoT enabled central command center either a server or PC that will talk to each IoT device and run machine learning algorithms to estimate your mood to create the required ambiance.
- Challenges: Machine learning algorithms, how is data security managed? cost of such a platform.
- Women & Child Safety
- Benefits: Provide a safe environment and means of protection for women, children and senior citizens by designing a device that will track movements, location, means of alerting primary and secondary users (parents, friends, others)
- Implementation: An IoT device that has a push button to send an alert and which can connect to a mobile device either via Bluetooth, WiFi. The device design can be based on Arduino. Device to bluetooth connectivity was demonstrated at an earlier hackathon. Will probably need geofencing to provide connectivity to the devices or other means of detecting device movements in a school environment. Device can also capture audio. Some colleges and schools have tried using IoT enabled ID cards that track entry and exit into premises.
- Challenges: How to manage device charging? How much battery power will be required? Can a cheap wearable from China be hacked to get some know how?
