Enriched IT Class S3 students Yau Tsang & Ho Yan Chan and S4 student Wai Fung Chu of Shun Tak Fraternal Association Yung Yau College won Gold and Silver awards in the Infomatrix 2018 held at Romania respectively with their projects titled “Smart Lift” and “Find It”.

“Smart Lift” makes use of thermographic camera to calculate the passenger density. Whenever the lift is fully loaded or no passenger is waiting on certain floors, it will automatically bypass those floors and go to the destination floor to save the waiting time of passengers and solve the problem of stopping at every floor.

“Find it” is a pet rescue and integrated information platform. The platform uses Firebase and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, which allows users to upload data about nearby bluetooth signal to compose big data. It also provide functions including automatic notification, flashing light and alarm signal, so as to increase the chance of finding lost pets.
