Our First Problem:
Problem Statement:
Foreigners cannot
understand signs written in national language.
Hopefully that is eight words or less....
Our Solution:
We thought of creating a mobile app that can use the camera to detect the text written in signs and notices and then translate them online.
After presenting our solution, we came to a few speed bumps. We came across the problem of how many foreigners actually owned smartphones and the requirement of a data plan.
It was suggested to us to use QR code, which would work quite well. A flagship smartphone would not be required to use QR Codes.
Also having a built in translator would reduce the requirement of the internet. Only if the built in translator cannot sufficiently translate a sign, then it can connect to the internet.
