This project addresses real-world safety concerns with an innovative combination of hardware and software, offering real-time location tracking, facial recognition, geofencing, and more.\n\n## Features  \n- **GPS Location Tracking**: Accurate updates every 30 seconds with a 3-foot precision.\n- **Temperature Monitoring**: Prevents device overheating by triggering shutdowns of non-essential components.\n- **Vibrating Alerts**: Provides real-time notifications for geofence breaches or caregiver messages.\n- **Gyroscope and Accelerometer**: Detects sudden movements or falls, notifying caregivers instantly.\n- **Facial Recognition**: Identifies individuals near the wearer for added safety insights.\n- **Geofencing**: Sends alerts when the user exits predefined safe zones.\n- **Companion App**: Supports live tracking, notifications, and settings customization via FlutterFlow.\n\n## Hardware System  \n- **Sensors Subsystem**: Includes GPS, temperature, battery monitor, accelerometer, and gyroscope.\n- **Actuators Subsystem**: Utilizes a vibration motor for silent notifications.\n- **Communications Subsystem**: Transfers data securely via MQTT to AWS IoT Core and DynamoDB.\n- **Power Subsystem**: Powered by a rechargeable LiPoly battery with over 24 hours of operation.\n- **Central Processing Unit**: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W for managing data, algorithms, and communication.\n\n## Software System  \n- Python-based main algorithm managing data collection, device state, and communication.\n- AWS integration for real-time data storage and retrieval. [Backend-Webserver](https://02fydzyygd.execute-api.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/LocITDynamoDBDisplay)\n- Companion app (FlutterFlow) for monitoring and control.\n\n## Encasing Design  \n- Constructed from PLA filament with 2 mm thickness for strength and durability.\n- Compact dimensions: 2 inches wide, 4 inches long, and 2 inches deep.\n- Three lid variations:\n  - **No Slots Lid**: For fully enclosed design.\n  - **4 Vents Lid**: Balanced ventilation and enclosure.\n  - **9 Vents Lid**: Maximum cooling for high-temperature environments.\n\n## Results  \n- **High Accuracy**: GPS provides precise location tracking within a 3-foot radius.\n- **Reliable Notifications**: Geofence breaches and fall detection alerts are delivered promptly.\n- **Extended Usability**: Optimized power management ensures operation over a full day.\n\n## Improvements and Optimizations  \nFuture enhancements include:\n- Advanced facial recognition models for diverse conditions.\n- Improved companion app usability with push notifications.\n- Additional sensors for expanded functionality (e.g., heart rate monitoring).\n\n## Getting Started  \nVisit the [LocIT GitHub Repository](https://github.com/dita-deb/LocIT) for source code, hardware schematics, and additional documentation.\n\n## License  \nThis project is licensed under a custom license.
