Final Year Project
Project Title
Public Speaking Training Using Virtual Reality
Description
The project is based on a platform that allows students and industry professionals to practice their public speaking skills and receive fine-grained feedback on their speech delivery, body language, and nervousness levels. To assess speech delivery, measurements of clarity, speech rate, number of pauses, and listenability are taken, and for body language, BlazePose’s pose estimation model is used. To track nervousness levels, a pulse oximeter is designed that will measure both the heart rate and oxygen levels of the user.
