DominoScore is a game utility application I am currently developing with my tech startup Hephium. Domino Score is as the name says, an Ai-integrated app that counts your domino points using the power of machine learning! Say goodbye to counting and adding up small numbers at the end of every round. Dominos is a very competitive game, we wanted to make the process of scoring pain-free, easy, and most importantly accurate for our users.
Domino Score will be available to download on the Play Store in winter 2023!
User Research
We began our research by conducting user interviews revealing the pain points Domino players faced and gauging their interest in a product like Domino Score. In the midst of this exploration, we uncovered an unexpected truth: the game Dominos had a far-reaching global audience, and the Android platform held significant sway in the game utility market.
This revelation led us to an exciting challenge: prioritizing Android and cross-platform development over our iOS comfort zone and making our app available globally by providing users the ability to switch languages. Our goal? To ensure that Domino enthusiasts worldwide could enjoy the game on their preferred devices.
AI Domino Scan
To train our model, we generated and curated authentic photographs of dominos. These images were annotated and subjected to multiple rounds of image enhancement before serving as the training data for a Tensorflow-based machine learning model. The model is able to identify and tally domino pip values, ultimately generating a comprehensive score for the user at 85% accuracy. In case of user or model error, we implemented a way for the user to add and edit dominos and their score.
