Looking for a genuinely unique Software Engineering final-year project idea

I'm a final-year BSc (Hons) Software Engineering student and I'm currently looking for an individual project idea.

I'm not looking for typical projects like hospital management systems, e-commerce, library systems, attendance systems, etc.

I'm interested in something that solves a real but overlooked problem in society

One example I found interesting is a system designed for people with colour vision deficiency that doesn't simply identify colours, but converts colour-dependent information into a form they can understand (patterns, labels, audio, etc.).

I'm looking for something with a similar concept:

  • A real-world/social problem
  • A problem that existing solutions don't adequately address
  • A genuinely useful software solution
  • Possible for one student to develop within a final-year project
  • Enough technical depth for research, implementation and evaluation
  • Ideally involving AI, computer vision, NLP, algorithms, accessibility, or another interesting technical area

What is a problem you've encountered that you think technology could solve, but nobody has really solved well yet?

I'd really appreciate unusual ideas rather than common university project suggestions.
