EADA Pro: Enhanced Workspace Intelligence

HashCode 13.0 Hackathon Project Plan

Project Overview

EADA Pro (Enhanced Adaptive Display Assistant) is an AI-powered workspace optimization system that uses computer vision, audio processing, and machine learning to create an intelligent, adaptive workspace environment. Our project aligns with multiple HashCode tracks, particularly focusing on More Accessibility and More Privacy/Security.

Hackathon Track Alignment

Primary Track: More Accessibility

EADA Pro directly addresses accessibility challenges by:

  • Automatically adapting display settings based on user distance and environmental conditions
  • Monitoring ergonomics and providing real-time posture correction
  • Offering personalized workspace optimization for users with different needs
  • Supporting users with visual or auditory impairments through adaptive interfaces

Secondary Track: More Privacy/Security

We enhance privacy and security by:

  • Processing all sensitive data locally without cloud dependencies
  • Implementing privacy-focused computer vision that doesn't store personal images
  • Adding user presence detection for automatic screen privacy
  • Developing secure user profiles with encrypted preferences

Current Capabilities vs. Innovations
