Final Post

Imagine if there was a teleportation technology that was able to teleport students to classes? Imagine that. Anyway to a more realistic idea, imagine if like there was facial recognition technology installed in every hall. This idea might be somewhat out of the realm to others but I believe that if this existed it would make the lives of college students especially SU students easier. With the facial recognition technology students can have access to their halls easier, faster and more efficient rather than to wait in a long line for check-ins.

My entrepreneurship idea in the beginning seemed far fetch as to how this would turn into reality. I learned so much through this project which helped me extremely broaden my idea of a facial recognition technology to be installed all around campus especially in Syracuse. Many factors didn’t come to mind such as, how it would be installed, the effectiveness of the technology on the students and faculty, the safety of individual identities.

As time went on, I found out that in order to setup up this technology a special computer was needed to be created. This computer would have had to be very effective in such a way that it would be efficient and fast for students and faculty to use. This computer would have had to have a CPU with a large amount of storage space and memory to keep track of individuals. For the facial technology to work it would have had to have the ability to identify people and provide feedback like the person’s name, major, room and much more.

I also found out about cloud computing which would have made the job of storing over 16,000 worth of identities into one big storage room. Through cloud computing, my data would be more efficient and affordable.  I was drawn into this technology to help me save money and time. Also through cloud, factors of security came to play. If information went online and could be accessible to third parties, my job to keep track and understand the language of programming. And with that knowledge I could keep identities safe and be able to expand to other business and schools.

In order for my idea to be successful, I had to also keep track of my competition. Many companies are coming up with this idea of facial technology but through the project I was able to extract the differences and uniqueness of my idea which I could benefit from. Others were not expanding their idea but with mine I could make it successful by not only selling to businesses but also to schools especially colleges that contain an enormous amount of people.

Finally to bring my idea to reality, I will need special software programs and computer that are able to run on my facial recognition program. I would also need people with a complete understanding of operating system to aid me perform certain functions on my technology as to rebooting it without losing any data, manipulate my technology to keep track with updates and changes. For example if a student was to switch majors, halls and extra it would be easy for me to adjust and change information.
