The greatest sources of data are people themselves. Where we walk, where we study, how long we stay in different places. These are all valuable data points that are waiting to be taken in. There is a world of information waiting to be harnessed. Have you ever wondered if a professor was available to meet, or how crowded the cafeteria or library are? With Nexus as an intermediary all of this information and more is at the tip of your fingers. Once you know where the people are the information that you can provide back is limitless.

Features to look for:

• Know if seats are taken in different rooms
• Find if a professor is available in their office
• See ongoing or upcoming events
• Enter/exit doors
• See traffic information to find the busiest/quietest parts of campus
• Analyze traffic patterns to decide what areas can be shut down and when (construction, etc.)

• Created SQLite3 database
  • User table can take first names, last names, ID numbers, and year
  • Chair table has 4 chairs that can take ID number, their particular chair number, and their status (Available/Unavailable)
• Created Flask app for multiple functionality
  • App can query data from databases and store them as variables, currently displaying them through html on a web page
  • App can manipulate inputs from reader and compare them to values in databases to produce responses on the 'front end'
• Created a web page
  • Uses html and css to display images, text, or "leds' in accordance to the application

RFID Cards (White, above) and tags (Blue, above) come in close proximity with an antenna. The antenna relays this and the information on that tag to the Raspberry Pi. The Pi can pass this information to the Flask server and query the user database for information as needed.

The Nexus app (Google Maps pictured above) will contain a model of campus. The left shows mock placement of several antennae while the right shows that the user sees, mainly status indicators and small messages containing crucial information that can be expanded.
