Have your school under control with Marauder’s Map, incuding mobile app and searching in multiple ways

14:41: Updated to include additional information around embedding the map in a mobile app and searching in multiple ways.

You want to see if other professors are around in the school? We found a magical map in the School form of our OwlExpress app. The Marauder’s Map is using Websockets magic to track everyone on the school premises Right Now.

It also is using device embedded voice recognition to understand your spells, you need to say: “I solemnly swear that I’m up to no good.” if you want to see the map.

When you are done and want to hide the map you must say: “Mischief Managed!”.

Do you like the glossy pixels of this map?

Mobile Map

We have also managed to embed this into a canvas app for a mobile delivery for sneaky students upto no good.

Searching in many ways

We have also introduced a glossy new feature for searching our student database in multiple magical ways, searching via standard text boxes, searching by scanning a business card, drawing a students name and utlising Copilot.

This streamlined approach ensures that students can easily navigate the challenges in a structured and organized manner. By integrating the challenges into the business process flow, participants can seamlessly progress through each stage, maintaining clarity and focus while engaging with the tasks. This design enhances user experience and encourages a smooth, efficient workflow throughout the OWLs.

More is Less. Effective work with Feature rich Logiquill Portal

We hope you liked our Logiquill platform we demonstrated to you yesterday. With it, we really enable our Wayfinder academy employees to manage their work in more effective way, reducing operational stuff, manual work and all of it – by use of the technologies we describe below. Hence by saving time on those time consuming processes, they can allocate it to the more meaningful and strategic tasks. This is what we call Digital transformation.

At this portal, in the Admin view, we have features like (as displayed on the screenshot below):

  • Digital Twins of our judges (mentors), generated by AI, and connected to the database which has the custom survey tailored to guide the student thru questions, that helps to identify their values, aspirations, reactions to stress, etc.
  • Heart rate readings which is a real time data, coming from the Pulsoxymeter device.
  • Emotion recognition via the third party solution (more about this you can read here Unveiling Hidden Feelings with the Magic of AI | Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge Submissions)
  • Speech to text for the response on the survey.

Magic meets modern technology!

With delicious pizza fueling our spirits, we’re proudly claiming three badges! In this blog post, we’ll dive in with the same courage and determination Harry displayed in the Triwizard Tournament.

💣 Feature bombing

From the very beginning, our goal has been to unite multiple platforms into one seamless, feature-packed experience with a Weasleys’ twist. On our homepage alone, users can:

  • Get sorted into a house.
  • Chat with friends.
  • Check the calendar for Hogwarts classes and social events.
  • Get help from Hermione Bot for academics or planning.
  • Team up with Prank Bot to mastermind mischief.

These features don’t just exist – they’re alive and interactive, ensuring the experience is magical, dynamic, and fun. We’ve officially mastered the art of feature bombing (without overwhelming) and are ready to claim this badge!

🦎 Chameleon

Our app is built with adaptability at its core, ensuring a magical experience no matter what device you’re using. Whether it’s the compact elegance of an iPhone 13 or the expansive screen of an iPad, our interface scales perfectly without compromising usability or design.

  • Approve floor plan (sets the piping suggestion to: accepted)
  • Fetch order list based on piping suggestion (automatically)
  • Accept project (assign project to me)

Feature Bombing: Maximizing Utility in a Single Screen

Our project’s crowning glory is the integration of an array of user features within a single screen, a feat that not only meets but exceeds the criteria for the Feature Bombing badge. This dense yet intuitive design includes the Power Page, PCF component, Highscore component, Power BI for current progress, and a Chatbot. Each element is crafted to complement the others, providing a comprehensive, engaging user experience without overwhelming the interface. This strategic feature cramming showcases our team’s ability to balance complexity with coherence, ensuring every addition delivers value and enhances usability.

As we conclude this intense development phase, our array of badges reflects more than just our technical achievements; they’re a testament to our team’s innovative spirit, collaborative ethos, and unwavering commitment to excellence. These badges aren’t just accolades; they’re milestones on our journey of learning, growth, and contribution in the dynamic world of hackathons.

How many Features on your Screen?!

We have done the ultimate feature bombing in our canvas app. Our game app is solely relaying on data from tables in Dataverse. By creating a good Information Model with relations we have structured the data in a way that makes our App development way more dynamical.

The User progresses through the game by solving puzzles in different rooms. We use the same screen in our app to present every room. The Room is then populated with excercises based on information in our dataverse table.

This means that we can expand the game just by adding new Rooms, and excercises and link them in our dataverse table.

And don’t forget the fact that we differentiate on the tasks/excercises and if they are so complex that they need to break out in a different screen – or if its a simple information or user interaction – then we show a pop-up dialog on the same screen. All ofcourse – determined by the excercise type defined in the dataverse table.

Piping our way through the Azure Cloud

To make our amazing service Tubi work, a lot of cloud is needed. We aim to make the plumber’s job easier by recommending the best layout for where the pipes should go, and for that, we need AI. We have trained a model in Custom Vision to recognize all components in a bathroom that need water. So, when the plumber uploads a floor plan to our Static Web App, the image is sent to our Azure Function App backend in C# Asp.net through our own API. But both the image and the equipment list must be stored somewhere. Therefore, we have also connected to Azure Blob Storage. Then last but not at all least. The people working in the back office have instant interactive reports available to help them with filing and billing through Power BI and alerting the using an automated flow (Badges: Feature Bombing)

Sometimes it works, and that’s plenty

Databases are good, but sometimes it’s easier to just dump everything in one place until you need it again. Yes, it might not be very scalable or very normalized. SQL became too heavy, and we already needed a Blob storage to store the images, so we also dump the order data in the same blob storage as JSON files. It’s old fashioned way of serverstorage, and a bit dirty, but it works! (Badges: Nasty hacker, Retro badge)

Power the backoffice

As the final list of components are decided, they still have to be approved from the accounting team in the office. To make sure they have all the information they require, we have developed a Power BI dashboard to crawl through our registered data and make sure the orders are handled properly (Badges: Crawler, Dash it Out, Dataminer). And to make sure the orders are handled easy and fast, the dashboard is embedded into teams and an alert is automated by using a logic app to make sure the workers can receive and cooperate in realtime (Badges: Embedding Numbnuts, Go with the flow, Pug N’ Play, Power user love, Right Now, Stairway to heaven).
