SOCIAL DISTANCING DETECTOR

Abstract

This project aim is to provide an effective social distance monitoring solution in a pandemic situation. The raging coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has brought a global crisis with its deadly spread all over the world. The problem is people all over the country feel that society was insensitive in keeping a distance during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are two method selection procedures which are the software method and the hardware method. Firstly, the software method of encoding with Arduino code was chosen. The USB cord was used to connect the Arduino to the PC, then the Arduino IDE was opened and picked the appropriate board and port. The second one is the hardware method of 3D printing. The process of layering materials to create objects with varying shapes and sizes using filament PLA. The result of the project was successful and working well, as it detected body heat within 1 metre. Even though it occasionally buzzes without detecting any body heat, it has been sufficient to demonstrate that met the goal thus far. In a nutshell, this project is really helpful in many ways that can be observed. The benefit of this project is it can solve the problem that people face nowadays, which is the social distancing of the new norm. This project also assists many people who are struggling in this pandemic with maintaining their social distance. especially for blind people.
