Virtual Reality 3D Printing: From Concept to Reality

The project explores the feasibility of integrating virtual reality (VR) technology with additive manufacturing to create an intuitive 3D printing experience. The primary goal is to determine whether 3D models can be designed in a VR environment and seamlessly transferred to a 3D printer for real-world production. This project will investigate the potential for VR to simplify the 3D printing process, making it more accessible and user-friendly, akin to a plug-and-play system. The team will assess current VR tools and 3D printing technologies, identify compatibility issues, and propose solutions to bridge the gap between virtual design and physical creation. By the end of the project, learners will gain insights into the intersection of VR and 3D printing, enhancing their understanding of both technologies and their applications.

Upkeep: AI-Enabled Maintenance Connection App

The project aims to develop a prototype for Upkeep, an AI-enabled mobile application designed to streamline the process of connecting users with skilled technicians for maintenance and odd jobs. The app will allow users to post job requests, receive matches with available technicians, and review job details, all within a user-friendly interface. The goal is to create a seamless experience that simplifies the management of maintenance tasks, from job posting to payment processing. By leveraging AI, the app will enhance the matching process, ensuring users are paired with the most suitable technicians based on their specific needs. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge in mobile app development, user interface design, and AI integration, focusing on creating a functional prototype that addresses real-world challenges in the service industry.
