What it does
It helps users find a specific person at a Facebook event based on a picture taken on place.
How I built it
We used Android integrating 2 APIs. The Facebook Graph API and MarketPlace Face Recognition. Even though the application is not finished, the final display and picture uploading have not yet been developed and various parts have been hard-coded for sample presentation. The rough code, eliminating the embedded part, provides a simple layout of how the application would have been fully developed.
Challenges I ran into
The Facebook privacy options stopped us from doing real event simulations, but we managed to hard-code a sample event with a few people. Also, as mentioned before Facebook API is not fully integrated and the Face Recognition does not work on uploads.
Accomplishments that we proud of
The fact that the software actually recognizes matches and the big amount of code we have written in such a short time.
What we learned
- using JSON parsers
- automating HTTP POSTs
- integrating Facebook API
What's next for Fizzard
We will continue the development after providing a sample code to Facebook getting less privacy issues and fixing the specified issues.
