    You mean like these, or something else?
    TinEye Reverse Image Search
    Google Images

    The whole idea of a final project is that it is something YOU come up with by yourself, you define the scope, the detail and the implementation.

    For a start, pick something which has some real motivation on your part.

    Simply doing something "because some dude on the web told me to" isn't the way forward.
    First you're asking what to do; before long you're asking how to do it as well - it's your project, not ours.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Perhaps you should read my reply, rather than just quoting it.

    The final year project is the last big test before going out into the wide world. It's your chance to really define yourself by coming up with a project where you get to define the three main pillars of any project, namely
    - what to do (the requirements)
    - how to do it (the design)
    - do it (the implementation)

    If after 2/3/4 years of college, you still haven't figured out what really inspires you, then I'm afraid you've been wasting your time.

    If you don't know "what" to do, then it's pretty certain that you won't know "how" to do it either. I mean, I could say "mouse gestured music generation", where you wave the mouse around to generate music. Now I've no idea how to do that (today), but I'm sure if I were interested enough, I could figure it out. Similarly, you wouldn't know much about it either (that's the way with new ideas - nobody knows!), but I can easily predict that your very next reply would be "can you help me?". There's no need to predict it, you've already done it!!!!!!!

    Here are some unknowns (to us)
    - the course topics you've studied in the past few years.
    - the competence of the teachers, lecturers, professors etc.
    - the rigour of the assessment (course work, exams) - is the focus academic integrity, or low barriers for high pass rates to bring in the money?
    - your deserved achievement in those assessments.

    You see - only you can really answer all those questions, and come up with a project which is interesting to you, within your scope of education and within your scope of capability.

    > If the above project is possible I want to do that
    I gave you two links which actually DO what you want.
    So in some sense, yes, it's possible to do it.

    Now, whether it is "possible" for you to do it, well that's a different question altogether.
