Project description:
"Prototype Development: Verification Lamp with Camera + Magnifier + Software

We need a hardware and software prototype for a verification device. The product should look like a modern desk lamp, with a flexible gooseneck arm and a C-clamp base that attaches to a table.

Hardware requirements:

. LED ring light around a small magnifier lens (with on/off control)

. Magnifier lens (3–5x) for reading fine details

. Integrated camera (12–20MP, aligned with magnifier lens)

. Flexible gooseneck arm for positioning

. C-clamp mount to secure to the work table

. Large button or optional foot pedal trigger for capture

Software (MVP):

. Live camera preview

. Item/Tray ID input (barcode/QR scan or manual entry)

. Capture 1–3 photos, auto-save with filename format: [login to view URL]

. Metadata stored in JSON/CSV (ID, operator initials, timestamp)

. Simple search/review function

. Local storage, with option to sync/export to shared folder

Phase 2 (future):

. Auto-detect indicator strip or target item using computer vision

. Color detection of inspection strips

. Cloud integration or enterprise system interface

Budget: $3,000 – $5,500 (negotiable)
Timeline: 8–10 weeks for first working prototype

Please include in your proposal:

1. Your approach to building the hardware and software

2. Estimated cost and timeline

3. Examples of past work in IoT, imaging, or hardware/software prototypes

Skills to select: Hardware Prototyping, Raspberry Pi / Arduino / IoT Development, Python / OpenCV / Qt, Embedded Systems, Industrial Design / Product Design

Screening Questions:

1. Have you built a hardware + software prototype before?

2. Which platform would you use (Raspberry Pi, mini-PC, or other)?

3. Can you deliver both hardware and software, or only one side?

4. What past project is most similar to this?" (client-provided description)
