Project “Quark” is another project to win makeathon “Your startup idea in reality” held by Ilia State University Industrial Innovations Laboratory (FabLab Iliauni) – a ball acting as a guide helping you find the desired place or item. The project idea belongs to San Diego State University students Lana Rekhviashvili and Ana Lomashvli and Tbilisi State University student Ekaterine Dadiani.
Current “Quark” prototype has a small control board by means of which the user enters parameters of the desired item or place. The control board receives the command and transmits it to “Quark”. Prior to receiving the command “Quark” is blue, subsequent to receiving the command it changes colour and becomes green and after it fulfils the command and finds the relevant place or item it gets red. “Quark” remains red until the user gets to the destination, then it loses colour. Change of colour makes communication between the user and “Quark” easier. The girls plan to develop “Quark” prototype and work on many other new projects.
