Prototype Development – Experimental Navigation Software (Private R&D) Overview Seeking a technically inclined developer or small team to build an experimental prototype for a navigation-related system. This is part of a private research and development project—non-commercial, small-budget, but technically detailed. The goal is to create a functional software framework that simulates orientation, movement tracking, and spatial mapping using simulated or public data inputs. Objective Develop an early-stage MVP capable of: • Reading and processing positional / sensor-like data streams (real or simulated) • Visualizing orientation and navigation states in a simple desktop interface • Modular code design to allow future integration with physical sensors (e.g. IMU, magnetometer, GPS, Raspberry Pi) Technical Stack (preferred) • Languages: Python (core), C/C++ optional for performance modules • Frameworks / Tools: • Jupyter Notebook or VS Code environment • Data visualization via Matplotlib / Plotly / PyQT / OpenGL • Optional: ROS 2 familiarity for later hardware interfacing • Platform: macOS or Linux; should be portable to Raspberry Pi • Version control: GitHub or GitLab Deliverables • Modular, commented source code • Minimal GUI for visualization • Short documentation on dependencies and setup • Optional hardware bridge layer (Raspberry Pi + simulated sensor feed) Engagement & Timeline • Single phase prototype (2–4 weeks) • Fixed-price preferred • Flexible approach; ideal for someone who enjoys research or experimental builds Notes • This is not a production or commercial product. • Priority will be given to freelancers who demonstrate an understanding of sensor data handling, coordinate systems, or robotics concepts.
