3. Vehicle maintenance - Build a mobile app that allows the owner of the
vehicle to fill in timely information about the services done. Based on the input
received, the app should detect what other parameters need service, when the next
service is due, what parts need replacement, and so on. Furthermore, the app can
also use augmented reality (AR) to help owners understand t he functionality of
their vehicle by simply hovering their phone camera over the different various
buttons of the interior of the parts in the engine bay.

1. Web-Based Facial Authentication System: (Information Sec.)
Develop a facial recognition system for user authentication. This software is widely
used in exam proctoring systems, KYC processing systems, or even in simple mobile
devices. The system already has records of the intended user’s photographs. These
records can either be public or narrowed down to a specific set of users. After the
camera permission is granted, the face is detected. The 2D-based image is matched
with images in its database. The software reads the geometry of your face such as
distance between eyes, depth of eye sockets, distance from forehead to chin, the shape
of cheekbones, lips, ears, chin, nose, etc. This data is converted into a set of digital
information; i.e a numerical code called faceprint. The data is then matched with the
existing faceprints in the system and a result is generated.
