Virtual Crackers!

The Project

We know that almost 94% of the air is polluted. Out of that more than 50% of the air is polluted by bursting of crackers. So i have made this project to convert the physical way of bursting crackers to virtual. People, here can burst as many crackers as possible, whenever required, which in turn may lead to reduction of more than 50% of the air pollution (by fire crackers). Not only that, but also the sound pollution will also be controlled. So lets check how to operate the project below: Before starting anything or clicking anything ,carefully have a look at the rules by clicking on the the 'Rules / Home' button. Click it again to return to home. Get prepared then switch on the video. Make sure that there is no motion in the background or device is not moving. Take your finger towards the cracker/button you want to burst/select, then move the finger up and down to select. Please take your finger within a distance of 30 cm from the camera after deciding the cracker/button to burst/select, do as being said before. If video not works properly you can just click on the desired option / crackers to select / burst. Clicking the video button even number of times will switch your video off and clicking it odd number of times switches on the video. Also clicking the day/night button odd no. of times will turn to night and even clicks as day. After clicking any button please wait for sometime for processing. You can reload again to start a fresh new session. After all I think that people will get attracted by its cool features......

Bursting fire crackers, causes various problems, like polluting air, causing sound pollution, etc. This is a serious thing to be dealt with. Thus I have made this project to deal with all these problems.

First of all the motion on the cracker sensing and the distance judging was the most difficult part of the project which was made possible by hit and trail method. Then as usual comes the decoration part including sound effect was bit difficult which also has been solved using hit and trail method.

If there was more time, I would have added a few more crackers, increased the sound quality, made the decoration much better and also would have added other interesting features.
