Problems that need Fixin' / DYI City Brainstorm

2008-11-11T17:43:36Z

Anaid:

"How do you make cities easier to use?" This question has thousand different answers and could spawn a thousand mini projects. If you've encountered any "bugs" in your everyday life that could use fixing, post them here:

* How do I not miss the L train more frequently?
* How can I easily split the $50 cab ride from the airport with someone?
* How can I find the most interesting thing to do tonight within walking distance?
* How do I make this Saturday more interesting that last Saturday?
* How can I find a parking space before it opens up on the street?
* How can I find what apartments are for rent within my proximity?
* How can i figure out distance (in average subway ride duration) to movie theaters (or other venues/ apartments / restaurants)? Inspired in the personal world map [http://www.personalworldmap.org/] or the subway time based map of london [http://www.oskarlin.com/2005/11/29/time-travel/] and this visualization [http://www.tom-carden.co.uk/p5/tube_map_travel_times/applet/].

If you're interested in registering your iPhone for development, add your name and your iPhone's serial number here. (the SDK required that each phone use for "testing" be registered with Apple)

To find your iPhone's serial number: (note that this is different than the serial number you see when you're in iTunes)
# Connect your iPhone to your Mac
# Open Applications -> Utility -> System Profiler
# Under the "Hardware" tab, look for "USB" (left side panel)
# Under "USB" look for "High-Speed Bus" (top right panel)
# Click on iPhone and copy and paste your serial number below

=== Week 4: What Do You Want to Build? Part II (Due: September 30) ===

Revisit the project proposals you wrote last week, but answer the following questions:

+ Find at least one other project that's similar to what you're proposing. What problem are they solving? What problem are you trying to solve? How is your approach different?

+ Who is your project targeted at? Who do you imagine using it? In what scenario do you imagine it being useful?

+ What methods will you use to collect location from users? (User-submitted? GPS (and if so, on what device?) Loki?)

+ What kind of geo-tagged content will you be storing in your database? Text? Photos? Venues? Where will you get this data?

+ What's the one-sentence [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator_pitch elevator pitch] for your project? Is it "geo scavenger hunt meets Flickr"? "Yelp reviews meets Amazon's recommendations"? "Candy Land played in the NYC streets?" See if you can whip up a one-liner that accurately describes what's you're cooking up.

=== Week 3: What Do You Want to Build? (Due: September 23) ===

Think about what you want to create / build this semester. Write up a short (1-3 paragraphs) description of this concept. If it's similar to existing applications, include references to those applications in the description - e.g. "It's like a location-based HotOrNot for street food". If you'd like you can include diagrams, images or anything else that you feel will help you get your point across.

=== Week 2: The Wonderful World of Mapping Mashups (Due: September 16) ===

Two paragraphs on what you consider to be a great use of one of the mapping API's we've covered in class - you can look towards the [http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/ Google Maps Mashup site] for inspiration. Bonus points for writing about something that changed the way you experienced some aspect of the city.

'''Digital logbook''' 
Ok, so I spent a lot of time on a boat, and continue to over see their operation and I was really surprised to see that on a boat that has very sophisticated equipment, all of their logs still happen only on paper. 
This gets even harder because in this particular boat there's a lot of video production and usually a big need for a map to introduce the video. 
My idea is to make a program that will do 2 things: be able to map all the points they input (which comes from the boat's computer in degrees, minutes, seconds) and then produce maps with those pointers that can be edited to include information about them (this is the dive site and this is where we went for a hike) and also generate this images with the pointers to the places that have been visited when they are given a range of dates. Ideally this map would later become also a piece of hardware that displays this and gets added to a guest lounge on a boat, being "fed" by the radio room but seen (and perhaps minorly manipulated, with layers and zoom levels) on the guest area. 

'''Garbage maps''' 
Perfectly good things go into the trash every day, I've always wanted to map out the trash, it's location and distribute it via sms to people who have expressed interest in an item category (like maybe 'couch'). Phones with location capabilities might make this a reality by mapping the object to a place when the picture gets taken and then showing it to the interested users.

'''Blog n' log'''
A lot of bloggers are nomads, blogging from different places constantly. Id like to make a program that would get the location that people are blogging from and blurred it a little to display it on the blog as well. Kind of like the time stamp on blogs but for location.

'''Garbage maps''' 
Perfectly good things go into the trash every day, I've always wanted to map out the trash, it's location and distribute it via sms to people who have expressed interest in an item category (like maybe 'couch'). Phones with location tags might make this a reality by mapping the object to a place and then showing it to the interested users.

'''Digital logbook'''
Ok, so I spent a lot of time on a boat, and continue to over see their operation and I was really surprised to see that on a boat that has very sophisticated equipment, all of their logs still happen only on paper.
This gets even harder because in this particular boat there's a lot of video production and usually a big need for a map to introduce the video.
My idea is to make a program that will do 2 things: be able to map all the points they input (which comes from the boat's computer in degrees, minutes, seconds) and then produce maps with those pointers that can be edited to include information about them (this is the dive site and this is where we went for a hike) and also generate this images with the pointers to the places that have been visited when they are given a range of dates. Ideally this map would later become also a piece of hardware that displays this and gets added to a guest lounge on a boat, being "fed" by the radio room but seen (and perhaps minorly manipulated, with layers and zoom levels) on the guest area.

=== Week 3: What Do You Want to Build? (Due: September 23) ===

Think about what you want to create / build this semester. Write up a short (1-3 paragraphs) description of this concept. If it's similar to existing applications, include references to those applications in the description - e.g. "It's like a location-based HotOrNot for street food". If you'd like you can include diagrams, images or anything else that you feel will help you get your point across.

What if (state name) voted Republican or Democrat

[http://mapmash.googlepages.com/election_map.html Election map] 
There's many electoral maps that I find really useful to understand what's going on and how this election is happening but this one has a little extra something: it lets the user "change" the way the state votes and see the outcome in the big picture of the election. It can also display a number of recent polls from a drop down menu and use those predictions to modify the map.
I like this example because it's a great visualization and by adding the interactive layer it becomes much more interesting use of the information.
