Project overview

Meal Master simplifies meal planning by leveraging technology to identify available ingredients, suggest recipes, and reduce food waste. The app aims to inspire cooking, streamline the planning process, and help users make the most of their groceries.

Revolutionizing solutions for safety training

Aegis VR will serve as a gateway to a sophisticated simulation platform designed specifically for high-risk professions such as firefighting and surgery.
It will feature:
‍
Realistic physics simulations tailored to each profession (e.g. fire spread dynamics).
Performance analytics with AI-driven coaching tools to enhance user skills over time.
Multiplayer capabilities allowing teams to practice coordinated responses in simulated rescue drills.
This platform aims not only to reduce mortality rates but also increase the frequency of safe practice sessions compared to traditional methods.

Problem statement

High-risk professionals (firefighters, surgeons, police officers...) face significant challenges during traditional training due to the inherent dangers involved, leading to limited amount of time spent training, increasing risk of injury or death.
Current methods often fail to provide realistic simulations that can prepare individuals adequately for the complexities of real-world emergencies.
The problem is that the training is often dangerous, or not aligned with real-world scenarios.
The problem is high death and injury rate in high-risk professions.
The problem is low amount of workers willing to do high-risk jobs other than the usual firefighter and police officers

GOAL

Our primary goal is to transform the training landscape for high-risk professions through cutting-edge VR simulations. We strive to enhance skill development, improve safety outcomes, and foster collaborative teamwork among professionals facing critical scenarios. Ultimately, our success is measured by the lives we help protect and the standards we elevate in training methodologies.
