Personal Project

1. An app that reads from your tags and gives you updates for things that you like in the area and runs via GPS. Basically you can scan items with your smart phone or be in a bluetooth area and your phone will receive these and tell you things for example;
You could scan a packet of pasta and your phone will tell you the location of the nearest Zizzi's or give you recipes taken from the internet on how to cook pasta meals and what with. Or you could be a big coffee fan and it will alert you when ever you're near a Starbucks.

2. A 3D game environment, based on the technology used in the Wii remotes however at this stage these will have to be held in controlled environments such as arcades. You will play in a large room with other people either actually with you or in another 3D room and you can interact online with their environment. Using projectors, sensors, goggles and surround sound the 3D environment will be created, this will be the closest thing to a Holodeck from Star Trek as we can get at this point in time.

3. The last is an interactive panel for the home that will allow you to control multiple items from one screen ie, lights, TV, stereo, internet ...etc

A combination of 1 & 3 may be the best possible outcome. Plan to complete The Statement of Intent for week 6.
