Our mission was to create the world's first Anti-Banana Gym Bag. When we started, there were lots of questions about how to move forward. A bag that can recognize bananas may seem like something out of a sci-fi movie.
But by taking advanced camera technology and connecting it to a single-board computer that works with Open Source Computer Vision Library, an automatic image recognition software, we were able to make it happen.
We created a unique banana recognition algorithm and made calculations based on the shape, color and patterns of different bananas. This was our first breakthrough. The bag was able to recognize whether or not an object was a banana.
In order to enhance the camera's ability to recognize bananas, we created contrast by lining the inside of the bag with plastic.
When the camera detects the presence of a banana, a signal is sent to the bag's alarm unit and an alarm sounds to warn you that you accidently packed a banana. This revolutionary banana-repellent technology is a real game-changer that will educate people and help them get the most out of their workout.
