The Challenge
Challenges Sparkleo's team faced in developing an effective solution for Gravity Box
Shipping Constraints
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the physical device could not be shipped. Hence, we worked with a mock device built on the same microcontroller for development purposes.
Data Visualization
Handling a vast amount of data and presenting it visually in a practical and meaningful way was a challenge we successfully tackled.
Responsive Design
Ensuring seamless user experience across various form factors was an essential aspect of our development process.
Database Structure
We implemented a smartly structured database to handle the abundance of training data efficiently.
