2021 Project | V(r)ision

FIRST Innovation Challenge presented by Qualcomm

FIRST Innovation Challenge is one of three challenges created by FIRST for the 2020-2021 FIRST® GAME CHANGERS powered by Star Wars: Force for Change season. Teams participating in the FIRST Innovation Challenge work to solve a real-world problem where their solutions for that real-world problem encourage physical and/or mental health. Students work together to design a solution, create a business model, and explore the world of technology and problem-solving. FIRST also offers a Workshop series in the Innovation Challenge where students and team members expand their knowledge on business, intellectual property, product development, pitching, prototyping, entrepreneurship, and more.

Our Project: V(R)ision

Team 5700, the SOTA Cyberdragons, designed V(R)ision, which is wearable tech that connects us through virtual exercise via smart glasses. The aim of V(R)ision is to help encourage its users to exercise by simulating an in-person group workout experience. Our project does this through sleek, workout-friendly glasses that display other’s environments onto the lens.

Though V(R)ision was initially created to fight the lack of physical activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it opens endless new opportunities to connect globally. See our concept video below for a teaser of a user’s experience.
