How we used optical technology to develop IoT application

An intuitive gesture-recognition application modeled on IoT Technology, enabling drivers to drive hassle-free.

ActiDrive is an app that is out to set revolutionary changes in the automobile industry. By giving the drivers the freedom to be in touch with their mobile device’s functionalities with gesture movements without letting their eyes leave the road for even a second.

Since the app was based entirely on gesture mechanism, choosing an optimal distance between the driver and the ActiDrive app within which the app would recognize the gesture was a challenge.

Development of algorithms to define the meaning of every individual gesture posed as a challenge in front of us.

Creating an IoT strategy around the connection of ActiDrive with over 100+ different devices and mobile apps took a great portion of our development efforts and hours.

The Major challenge while Developing the application was to provide Single access point to all the major Chat/ Music/Maps applications so that the users could access or take action on Chat/ Music/Maps applications from within the app.

Next, showcasing continuous user activity detection (Walking/ Driving/ Cycling) without compromising the performance, accuracy and power also came as a challenge that our team successfully handled.

Once we identified the issues that the users were facing and the app screens they were leaving the app from, the next stage was to look back at the ActiDrive app wireframe.

While, we did not touch upon the user flow of ActiDrive app as the flow is what the users are most acquainted with, we looked back at prototype on the designing front.

The result of Five months of ActiDrive design and development was a cloud-based app that promises a drive where the focus of the driver is entirely on the road while giving them the complete control of their mobile devices in a touch-free setup. Other than the user safety and security while driving, the application also worked as a tracker which recorded the user trips and remembered the routes taken to reach the destination along with time duration and distance covered.
