The app Food on Wheels allows the user to find local food trucks. The food truck owners add their business on the app, link to their twitter or facebook accounts so that the app can use their feeds as "announcements" in their profile page. The owners update their current location on their own or when prompted by the app. The app will prompt the owner to update their current location timely by push notification.

For customers, the app suggests nearby food trucks based on the user's location in the main page. Outside the app, the app will send the notifications about nearby food trucks during the lunch time (11-1pm). The user is also allowed to search new food trucks by name, distance, popularity and cuisine. The user can check in, add photos and reviews for rewards (haven't decided).

Project #1. App Map & Wireframes

&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. The user will be able to set up a profile for himself, monitor activity occurring on his recordings such as comments and likes, and bookmark the recordings he likes.

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

EARPLUG App

A lot of New Yorkers are in danger of losing their hearing because of the high noise level in the city specially on the subway platforms, fabrication working environments, street traffic etc. Most of people even don't know that being exposed to a noise level of 85 decibels for more than 10 minutes can harm their hearing.
This app will help them to
1) Bring awareness to New Yorkers about the danger of the city noise level and
2) Protect them from this danger.
This app will automatically measure the noise level of the user's environments and will notify them to leave the area before the time-limit danger or take an action. taking action could be playing a white noise when the noise level goes up in order to protect the users health (the user must wear a headphone in order to use the white noise background)
This app will also have a real-time online data platform from other user's decibel rates across the city and will suggest the "less noisy" routes options for the users to commute between their two locations.

Crystal's App Idea

I want to design an app that helps people create a buddy system for those who feel unsafe commuting from one place to another.

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.
