Mobile Wallet

NYC App Idea

My idea is an app that maps the places in NYC that has inclusive policies for transgender. It includes places that offer gender-inclusive bathrooms, provide a means for trans people to use their preferred name and to change the gender on records and documents.

App Idea

I'm going to attempt a wireframe for a mobile wallet and payment system that "could" allow crypto-currency to be used at participating merchants- Nightclubs, Car Services, Fashion Boutiques, Restaurants.

This app would allow for user credit card and back account information, loyalty programs, and coupons on the smartphone, while also rewarding users as "Influencers" with crypto-currency/Rewards for interacting and sharing brand marketing on social networks via mobile ads.

Project #1. App Idea.

There is no question about it, not only do acoustics effect our mood, the also change our memory of a place. The blaring of the ambulance siren constantly remind me that i am in Manhattan, but not Brooklyn to. Similarly the Hare Krishna music immediately summons the image of Union Square into my mind. For sure, my Union Square is different to yours or the lady sitting next to me in the subway. 

At a time when personal listening devices and tailored playlists are ubiquitous, it’s no surprise that we forget of how important sounds are. At the park, in the subway, waiting in line for coffee, we block the world with our own bubble of chosen acoustics. 

&sounds aim to archive the sounds that surround us when we take the time to emerge from this bubble. And in time, our memories of a place. You can record, listen and tag your own acoustics with a place. 

This is my thesis. I'm building a collective sound archive.
