Toilet Champ

Seiya Kobayashi, John Choi

Toilet Champ is a fun app. It is counting how many times people (mainly ITP people) go to restrooms in ITP and showing the ranking of them.

Description

Two iBeacons will be located in each restroom(one next to ER and one next to Shop). Whenever people go into the restrooms iBeacon will automatically send a signal to an android phone, and a phone will send data to a server. Those numbers will be counted and ranked.

This app is collecting and analyzing indoor-location-based data!

Description

“Dot 2 Dot” is an homage to the pioneers of “Light Drawing”.

It utilizes the sensors of a smart phone to capture, share and present a 3d motion in space, breaking the physical barrier of the 2d canvas.

Picasso’s “Light Drawings” (1949) is series of long exposure photographs. These experiments of light and motion were part of a collaborative work between Picasso and Gjon Mili, a photographer and light innovator. Picasso's “air drawing” formed any new quality to his line – the recording of his motion in space.

This remarkable experiment produced images that reshape the traditional 2d drawing into a 3d thread sculpture. They are for some extend an analog form of GIF animations as the hold a sequence of moments in each photo.

This photography technique served as a view finder to unveil an invisible layer of reality.

The Technology:

“Speech of light serves as a messaging platform were 3d sketches replace text, video or image. A user presses a button and records the motion of his phone by using accelerometer and Gyro data. He then sends the 3d position data to a server

Description

TIMEOUT was born of the desire to temporarily escape the condition of ubiquitous computing. Not all people who have smartphones are thrilled about them; however these devices have become necessary tools, especially in cities like New York. TIMEOUT lets you exercise more control over your device by placing it in a lockdown mode in which only phone calls can be received. Self-imposed electronic exile is only a touch away.
