Overview:
This mobile application implements a number of wonderful features. By taking advantage of a smartwatch’s connective capabilities with a smartphone, this application truly outlines a future proof design for photo-sharing.
The Free Speech Movement application opens with a screen that gives the user the options to either install or uninstall an applet on the Qualcomm Toq. This particular applet has a deck of six cards that each correspond to an influential individual during the FSM movement 40 years ago. Upon installing the applet on the phone and standing within 50 meters of Sproul Plaza at U.C. Berkeley, the user receives a notification on their smartwatch for a draw request. (location coordinates have been hardcoded to Sproul Plaza for testing purposes). Every draw request has a random name from the list of six people on the cards, so after the user looks at this notification, they navigate to the applet on their watch on open the card which corresponds to the individual from the notification.
Upon opening this card, the watch automatically opens a drawing activity on the phone via an Intent. The user now follows the drawing instructions from their particular card, and they are given the freedom to make this drawing as beautiful as they want with the special opacity, brush size, eraser size, and colors within the View. Once the user is pleased with their creation, they simply click on the Upload button on the top bar of the view in order to upload the drawing onto Flickr with a “cs160fsm” tag. The image retrieval from Flickr was not working for me (buggy code), and so I decided to leave it out of my final submission.
