The problems: It's hard for people to organize their clothes in traditional closet, and easily forget which clothes they already have when they want to buy new clothes online or in store. Forget which clothes should do laundry.

Existed solutions: Mostly are customized traditional closets. Some smart closet apps need users to take pictures and upload, too time-consuming. And these apps do not associated with users' closets.

Our solution: The closet will take pictures of any new add clothes. It will count the days you worn each clothes and display on the phone. It can indicate which clothes to pick and to wash by different color of LED on clothes hanger and notice you when the laundry basket is full.

Hardware: A motor controlled rotatable rack. On the rack there are around 20 gates to place clothes, each gate has a number assigned. A control panel (micro controller is expected) decides how long rack should rotate, when to photo, and use WiFi to connect with phone. A photo booth aside. LED system to indicate which clothes to pick also controlled by micro-controller. Weight sensor to measure the weight of laundry basket also linked to controller. This micro-controller may infer to Raspberry Pi.

Software: Phone app. Each clothes has a database: type, picture (new clothes will have no picture), number of the gate (will be assigned a new number if put in again and will be null if clothes is outside of closet), status of need photo or not, and worn days. App will send the specific gate number to the control panel, and all the information control panel get will be updated on the phone.

Drum Tutor Lite

Featured Project

Team: Yuanheng Yan, Zhen Qin, Xun Yu

Vision: Rhythm games such as guitar hero are much easier than playing the actual drums. We want to make a drum tutor that makes playing drums as easy as guitar hero. The player is not required to read a sheet music.

Description: We will build a drum add-on that will tutor people how to play the drums. We will make a panel for visual queue of the drum and beats in a form similar to guitar hero game. The panel can be a N*10 (N varying with the drum kit) led bar array. Each horizontal bar will be a beat and each horizontal line above the bottom line will represent the upcoming beats.

There will be sensors on each drum that will fire when the drum heads is hit. The drums will be affixed with ring of light that provides the timing and accuracy of the player according to the sensors.

Of course with a flip of a switch, the drum could be a simple light up drum: when the player hits the drum, that particular drum will light up giving cool effects.

The system will be on a microprocessor. Or for more versatile uses, it could be connected to the computer. And a app will be written for the tutor.
