Details

We are looking for a student interested in mobile app and IOT development and working with various Bluetooth and Wifi protocols and optimizing data transfer between IOT devices. The project aims to improve app features for our companion app that connects to the Seleste Smart Glasses. Possible features include Reducing the latency of our video calls, adding reliability to the glasses connection, changing the glasses APK, and improving the user experience of connecting and using the glasses.

Seleste is changing the assistive technology industry by developing the highest quality smart glasses product with better AI and video-calling while remaining financially accessible!

Deliverables

Current features we plan to improve/build include video call optimization, voice assistant and A.I optimization. A student would work on one app feature and deliver the following work product -

  1. Use technologies (React Native, Node.js, C and Azure Cognitive Services) to receive, analyze then send data to our glasses in order to add value to our existing app features.
  2. Reliability decode and encode data sent to and from the glasses over Bluetooth and wifi
  3. Document research done to ensure smooth knowledge transfer
  4. Write high-quality code that will go through code reviews from experienced developers
Mentorship

Onboarding calls with the students to explain the scope of the project and set milestones. There will be weekly check-ins to make sure that the students do not have any questions or concerns. Additional support will be provided on an ad-hoc basis as I am happy to meet if need be. The student will also be able to talk to the other interns for help or advice. The student can also connect to our five technical advisors all of whom have 10+ years of development or computer science research experience! There will also be regular updates that will be provided by the students in terms of their progress.

We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern(s) using phone calls, email and through the company slack
