This project is designed to provide background music to solo artists. A website records solo artists singing, and sends back a track with an added percussion track and harmonies. For this project, our team won the award “Best Web Hack”.

Languages Used: Python, C++, HTML/CSS

Pic It

This app is called “Pic It!”, and its purpose is to help a group of friends find a place to eat. The app shows 6 pictures of food to each user, who then selects which food they want to eat. Our servers then determine which food was selected the most, searches for matching nearby restaurants that serves the type of food, and returns a list with the restaurant names and addresses.
