D. Steps Counter
A wearable tracker continuously senses the movements of
the body on a 3 axis accelerometer. The data is recorded all
the time it is worn and powered up, which enables the tracker
to trace if the individual is walking forward, running fast, or
even standing still. All this data is stored in the tracker for
further processing. Processing occurs when the data is
transferred to the software associated with the fitness tracker

IoT is getting popular with each passing day and to get a
better user experience, we could add a feature to control the
IoT appliances like air- conditioner, lighting and voice-
assistants through Projecfit itself. This would be enabled by
transmitting data to a cloud platform through a Wi-Fi router,
thereby turning their hands into remotes.
Although we have inculcated the best possible health
monitoring sensors in Projecfit, they have a big room for
improvement. A medical- grade ECG health monitor could
later be built into the device and you could expect our
product to become more and more of a biometric product on
the wrist.
Lastly, to take Projecfit further close to the smartphones
available today, a FaceID recognition could be added to the
Fig.5. Testing the product at different angles of projection product. Adding this feature would make it very convenient
for the users to unlock their smartwatches and would further
safeguard their data. This is a very ambitious addition and
could be hopefully be added with further improvements in
technology.
