=== 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.

Due to the website, It's not yet GPS based but still accurate as long as the trains are running on time.
I think NYC's subway also could be represented as this since it doesn't provide how long time passenger should wait for it.

Yes, I have good experience regarding to Google map apps in iPhone. Recently, my friend invited me his home in New Jersey, and I had never been outside of NY State since last year I came here. My friend said “take a bus to NJ at port-authority terminal and ask driver to let you know when the bus get to Little Perry”, and “you will be able to find a big ‘Burger King’ sign just before the bus station, don’t worry about it.” However, I was kind of excited about ‘traveling’ (?) outside of Manhattan so I just kept looking elsewhere. Finally, I felt something is going wrong because the landscape looked a bit different from a residential area. I realized I missed the burger sign and also the driver didn’t tell me when I passed thorough it. After I took off the bus, I was extremely nervous because there were neither bus stations in opposite nor people to ask direction. My friend also got nervous and he started to explain how to get back toward his home. But I thought about iPhone Google map and it worked out. Due to the route functions on iPhone, it was just 25 minutes distance by foot. Eventually, I could safely arrive his home and enjoyed the short journey. Well, I know it sounds like a cheesy product advertisement but it really worked and I’m really appreciated to Steve Jobs :-( It would be better to show up burger king sign on the map though.

'''Dennis Crowley'''

Hi - my name is Dennis and I'm one of your co-hosts this semester. I've been working in the mobile + locative space since 2001 - [http://vindigo.com/ Vindigo], ITP ([http://pacmahattan.com PacManhattan], [http://stage.itp.nyu.edu/~dc788/fall2002/physcomp/foosball/index.html Big Brother Foosball]), [http://dodgeball.com dodgeball], [http://areacodeinc.com area/code] ([http://homepages.nyu.edu/~dc788/conqwest ConQwest], [http://plundr.playareacode.com/ Plundr]). I'm mainly interested in how technology can be used to facilitate serendipity and how game theory may be used to change how people experience the city. I'm an average PHP programmer, I'm okay at MySQL, I know zero about Java development, and I have an iPhone. Oh yeah, and I'm an ITP grad '04 and live in the East Village.

'''Michael Sharon'''

Hi, Michael here - I'm your ''other'' host this semester. I've been working in mobile since 2001 and in the mobile + social + locative space since 2003 with various projects and companies like - [http://socialight.com Socialight],[http://kamida.com Kamida], [http://identitygame.com Identity], [http://superstarglobal.com/ Superstar Tokyo], [http://homepages.nyu.edu/~dc788/conqwest ConQwest] and [http://www.23centstories.com/ 23c Stories]. My interests tend towards user experience, social discovery and filtering - figuring out how to make the truly interesting things around you emerge and using those bits of data to change your experience of places. I like Ruby, Python, Java (mostly J2ME) and PHP. I was going steady with MySQL, but have recently started an affair with PostgreSQL. I have far too many phones to list here, but my main setup these days consists of an iPhone + [http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/N95_8GB Nokia N95 8GB]. I'm an '04 ITP grad, living in the Lower East Side.

'''Corey Menscher'''

I began working in the web industry after [http://www.wustl.edu undergrad] in 1995. I started out as a co-founder of the AdOne Classified Network, which brought small to medium sized newspaper classifieds sections online. After AdOne I worked for a small consulting company called [http://www.tcbdata.com TCB Data Systems], where I converted the Market Data Reporting system for the NYSE, Nasdaq, and other exchanges from a BBS-based system to the web. From there, I moved to Organic, Inc., where I helped create websites for [http://www.tommy.com Tommy Hilfiger], Sting's Brand New Day World Tour, and [http://www.bloomingdales.com Bloomingdales]...for which I created Organic's first-ever mobile WAP site. After the bubble burst and all but a few were laid off, I went back to TCB Data Systems, where I remained until ITP. My interests are mainly in interface engineering and user experience, but I have a wide variety of technical skills (PHP, Javascript, ColdFusion, .Net, SQL, server admin, network admin...). My personal blog is [http://www.crackblur.com crackblur], and my [http://delicious.com/crackhead del.icio.us], [http://twitter.com/crackhead twitter] and [http://www.flickr.com/photos/crackhead/ flickr] names are all "crackhead". (No, I don't smoke crack...at least not literally.) I have an iPhone 3G, but still have a soft spot for my last phone, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_E70 Nokia E70].

'''Seanita Tolliver'''

What should I write about here? Well, I have no formal mobile development experience but last semester completed a human-centered design research project around mobile shopping experiences. I also took Chris Sung's DWD class last semester (and promptly forgot most of it--please don't tell him). In terms of programming--I usually kick, scream, claw my way through stuff until it works--but I'll try to be more poised and dignified this time(I'm a 2nd year after all--gotta represent). My background lies primarily in entertainment and creative media/product development--toys, animation and education. I began working as an information architect/user experience specialist this summer and will continue to do so this fall--that's the plan anyway. Did I leave anything out? Oh, I don't have a fancy phone yet--just a TMobile Rizer--was hoping to get an iPhone last week while in Louisiana but Hurricane Gustav convinced me otherwise.

I have yet to develop anything on a mobile device, and I am interested in brief but concise correspondence that contributes to a greater story. Sometimes it takes a bit of back-and-forth with SMS between you and your friend to tell the whole story. Likewise one person in one location may catch part of a story that another person in a completely different location may be able to continue.

User A sees a sad clown without his red nose moping around Times Square. This user sends that bit of first-hand information to a central site, and GPS logs the location. Ten minutes later User B sees a man in a suit at 23rd and Broadway wearing a red clown nose. Without knowing any of the context surrounding the situation, the curious user sends this piece of information back to the central site. All the information is placed into context by an algorithm, and both users check the site later on in the day and deduce that the man in the suit stole the clown's red nose, hence his sad countenance.

A system like this can be fun and helpful. It can be used as a sort of location based mad libs or real-life Clue, where messages can contribute stories that may be ludicrously unrelated but may also be staggeringly related. The man who was seen with a bloody knife in one location may have been 5 minutes later changing his clothes and throwing away the weapon. While one user may be able to contribute only one small piece of a potential story, others can fill in the blanks. I'd like to build a system like this in class to see what puzzles we can solve using location and mobile telephones.

Hi, Ang here.

Rundown: I was an Illustration major at Parsons. there, I took every technical course available. Once graduated, I worked as designer at ad agency for year after graduation, which was a lot of fun. I then moved over to saks.com as designer/developer while applying for ITP. Here at ITP, I realized that php and mobile and the combo are awesome.

I'm really into location because, when that element is added, the experience is always different and changing. I try to make applications that will enhance people's life experiences and encounters.

Amateur news is one of my major interests. I like the idea of people reporting whats going on around them in real time and having the option to see what's happening either in there area or abroad.

On another note... I've been working on a group project called RootPoops. This is a service that, when phoned, plays encouragement for taking a shit that other users have left. That little extra push! Another feature allows you to access the nearest "high-rated" public facility from your mobile device.

That's all.

Bye!

Hi, my name is Jaeyoon and I have fine art degree of digital media design in South Korea. I live in midtown West since last year and so far, I like this city besides subway. Before I came to ITP, I worked on diverse kinds of professional design fields as an illustrator, graphic designer and mostly web designer for several years. First semester, I made a physical computing project called ‘[http://www.tuvie.com/bd-messenger-for-users-with-visual-and-hearing-impairment B&D Messenger]’ which is mobile assistive technology for blind and deaf people. I wanted to expand my design experience toward product design field and it was really fun and also painful. 2nd semester, Alex, Jiaxin, Jaewook and I were struggling with ‘[http://blogicks.com/ blogick]’ project that is sort of web based toy design for kids and either adult. I contributed this project on visualizing 3D images of physical blocks by using Processing and some part of Flash with papervision 3D. During this summer, I had been working at a company as a GUI designer for developing an application with Flash and Flex. I will be keep working in the office after 3 weeks later in order to design application UI for the iPhone, which is really exciting for me :-)

I began working in the web industry after [http://www.wustl.edu undergrad] in 1995. I started out as a co-founder of the AdOne Classified Network, which brought small to medium sized newspaper classifieds sections online. After AdOne I worked for a small consulting company called [http://www.tcbdata.com TCB Data Systems], where I converted the Market Data Reporting system for the NYSE, Nasdaq, and other exchanges from a BBS-based system to the web. From there, I moved to Organic, Inc., where I helped create websites for [http://www.tommy.com Tommy Hilfiger], Sting's Brand New Day World Tour, and [http://www.bloomingdales.com Bloomingdales]...for which I created Organic's first-ever mobile WAP site. After the bubble burst and all but a few were laid off, I went back to TCB Data Systems, where I remained until ITP. My interests are mainly in interface engineering and user experience, but I have a wide variety of technical skills (PHP, Javascript, ColdFusion, .Net, SQL, server admin, network admin...). My personal blog is [http://www.crackblur.com crackblur], and my [http://delicious.com/crackhead del.icio.us], [http://twitter.com/crackhead twitter] and [http://www.flickr.com/photos/crackhead/ flickr] names are all "crackhead".

What should I write about here? Well, I have no formal mobile development experience but last semester completed a human-centered design research project around mobile shopping experiences. I also took Chris Sung's DWD class last semester (and promptly forgot most of it--please don't tell him). In terms of programming--I usually kick, scream, claw my way through stuff until it works--but I'll try to be more poised and dignified this time(I'm a 2nd year after all--gotta represent). My background lies primarily in entertainment and creative media/product development--toys, animation and education. I began working as an information architect/user experience specialist this summer and will continue to do so this fall--that's the plan anyway. Did I leave anything out? Oh, I don't have a fancy phone yet--just a TMobile Rizer--was hoping to get an iPhone last week while in Louisiana but Hurricane Gustav convinced me otherwise.
