Discover how eco-friendly you really are!
Inspired by compelling visualizations that highlight individual carbon emissions, we envisioned a tool that empowers users to understand their environmental impact. The idea of a carbon footprint calculator emerged as a crucial step toward helping individuals recognize where their emissions originate. We believe that impactful visuals can drive this understanding home.
Ever wondered, What is my carbon footprint? or How can I visualize my impact? SeeO2 answers these questions by providing a comprehensive carbon footprint analysis.
Harnessing the power of MATLAB and Blender, we not only calculate your carbon score but also visualize your emissions, offering deeper insights into your environmental impact and highlighting the benefits of reducing your footprint.
We leveraged MATLAB and its App Designer to create an intuitive carbon scoring application, which efficiently computes the necessary data for visualizations. Next, we transitioned to Blender to bring those visuals to life, crafting stunning representations of your carbon emissions.
Initially, we planned to create the visualizations within MATLAB, capitalizing on its robust functionality. However, we encountered performance issues and implementation challenges. Our exploration of Simulink for modeling visuals also proved to be more complex than anticipated within our time constraints. Ultimately, we pivoted to Blender, which required us to learn a new platform from scratch and develop a method to integrate MATLAB and Blender effectively.
