About

ChromoCamera is a project that my teammates and I startet to develop in 2020, during our Master's Degree in Multimedia and Communication Design. It consists in a responsive website that allows users to take the Color Harmony test.

Pandemic situation played a crucial role in brainstorming phase since it pointed out, like never before, that online shopping experience could be improved. We noticed that trying on clothes before purchasing them is the main missing experience while shopping online, that's why we had the intuition to automate the Color Harmony Theory to allow consumers to understand which colors best suit them and take a small step towards an online experience closer to the offline one.

Technologies

To achieve what we had in mind we used different technologies:
- the script that runs the color harmony test is written in Python, and uses different libraries (such as OpenCV for face recognition);
- to build the web application we used Flask;
- to structure webpages we used HTML and CSS languages and Jinja template engine;
- to improve user experience we added some small interactive features using Vanilla JS only;

Future implementations

At the moment the project is still under construction because we aspire to make some implementations, such as improving the effectiveness of the test even in low light conditions and upgrade the clothing suggestion after the test is taken.
