=== 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.

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.

For our first weekly research assignment, we want to hear a personal story about how some some kind of locative data has made your day in the past. Did Yelp recommend your favorite restaurant? Did Facebook tell you your best friend was in town? Did dodgeball let you know your ex was lurking next door?

Bored and have no one to hang out with? Bet you're not the only one!

Scenario

User posts that they want to go for a drink, food, cigarette, museum, etc...

Anyone else in the area also interested in doing one of the following can notify the person that they too are interested. Based on users current location, specifications, and profile information, a venue(if it's something obscure like a restaurant) will be generated and sent to both users. Once both users have reached the destination(based on lat/long) they will be sent an image of the person they are to meet so that they know who to look for.

Posts do not get mass sent and have an expiration timer on them as well. Users check to see if anyone has posted an offer similar to what they want to do...if not they post their own offer.

living in london for a few years, i became a huge fan of pub crawls. going out with butt load of people can be a huge pain in the arse, well organizing it is anyway. So one day i searched the wonderful web and decided to leave all the work to beerinthevening.com. you can select how many pubs, the maximum distance it should be to get from pub to pub and the general area(s) you will be crawling in. then you can print out a map with a route. and yay! everyone knows whats going on, the generator has spoken, pouters and difficult people are shunned and everyone is ready for some merrymaking.

I stopped by Korea this summer on my way home. Haven't been there for 15 years. Weird. I was in and around Seoul visiting my family and checking out Seoul. Since I went out on my own a lot, my family gave me a cell phone to carry around just in case and to be able to find me. They all use this software called T Map. It was pretty cool, apparently you download it for free and pay like $3 a month to use it. It gives you updated traffic and talks to you, well it tells you to turn left, turn right, etc. The cool thing is that my cousins could always find me because they could see on the cellphones, on a map, where I was. Once they sent me a phone number to insert and it showed me where I was on the map and how to get there. Well that's the impression I got from it anyways...I might have been so mesmerized that I could have dreamt some of this up. You never know. What's great about all of this is that I never felt lost considering I had no idea where I was going. =)

'''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 - e.g. [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], Google). I'm like to explore how you can combine locative + social tools to make cities easier to use and how game theory could be used to change the ways 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.

'''Josh Berry'''

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.

'''Andrea Dulko'''

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!

'''Jaeyoon Kang'''

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 :-)

'''Mitch Said'''

Hi, I'm Mitch. I've got fine art background (mainly animation), and I've been doing Flash design and coding for a while now. I haven't had much a singular focus at ITP, but there does seem to be a sort-of theme about connecting physical, public space and digital media - I've taken a few seminar courses on the subject ("Mapping Narratives" and "Site Specific"), and I'm definitely interested in combining this interest with mobile stuff. I took Shawn van Every's "Mobile Media" last semester, where I learned what little I know about PHP and MySQL, and played around with mobile processing and J2ME coding, though I focused on the 'user generated' side in the end, working on a couple of collaborative mobile phone photo applications/sites, primarily using MMS. (These are ‘[http://www.moourl.com/mobody Mobody]’ and ‘[http://www.moourl.com/resembuild Resembuild]’. My lone google maps mashup before ITP (which I designed and conceptualized, and got a friend to code) was ‘[http://www.treeid.co.za Tree ID]’, based on locating the South African cell network towers disguised as trees.

Additionally, expect me to make some bad puns in class.

'''Che-Wei Wang'''

It's pronounced Say-Way because my mom misspelled my name when I was a kid. I grew up in Tokyo then PA then NYC. After graduating from Pratt Architecture, I worked for a bunch of architects, a morphologist, then started a design practice and teaching, realized my interests were deeply rooted in technology, so came to ITP. I've built a bunch of stuff. It's mostly on [http://cwwang.com cwwang.com]. I firmly believe, if and when objects become consistently and reliably location-aware, we'll witness the next big evolution in technology.

I have an iPhone and a Nokia E70. I used to publish my current location on my website via my phone every 10 seconds just to see what would happen. Some people used it to see if I was in town or in the neighborhood to meet up. I became more honest with my excuses.

'''Stella Jung Euk Kim'''

American born Korean. Born and bred in New York. BA in Fine Art. One day became interested in mobile social software. Did some UI development this past summer for a web/mobile app company in Shanghai to get hands a little dirty. Does not enjoy making or working on super serious solemn projects. Not super techy. Blah programmer. Is interested in, and likes the idea of "play", laughter, and taking the piss out of things. Stella just wants to have fun, have a good time and maybe have a little giggle.

Other interests: games, GRT's, Soccer/Footie, Top Gear, ghetto barely functioning mobile phones
