- YourPosition
-
YourPosition enables young people to locate places that have current job positions available, these are sent as a notification alert on their mobile device. As soon as the user enters into a certain location, the app searches for vacancies over a certain mileage of radius from their current position. As well as sending vacancy alerts it also rates them in urgency or importance, for example it would be of a bigger brighter alert if the application date was near or after setting up the app with your dream job specification it will also search for aspects of your spec that will relate to sending urgent attention alerts that are related exactly to the users needs.

- Spotted mobile phone app: Spot it. Share it.
-
As part of the Interactivism Hack Weekend, Enabled by Design and Go Genie were invited to join forces and work together on developing a mobile phone app to support both projects. We would like to develop a mobile phone app to allow our communities to contribute to our existing websites (http://www.enabledbydesign.org and the Go Genie website which is currently being developed by http://www.peskypeople.co.uk/) more easily and while out and about. The mobile app would give people the ability to take a photo on their phone of a 'Love', 'Hate' or something they've 'Spotted', write some accompanying text and post it to the site by sending it as a text message. A bit like twitpic but for the Enabled by Design and Go Genie websites respectively.

- EZPZ Browser ("eezy-peezy browser")
-
This is a joint proposal from the RSA Digital Engagement Working Group (RSAde) and Lancaster University Management School and Computing Department. Our objective is to provide a simple user-friendly educational browser for older people who have no or very little prior experience of using a computer or smartphone. It will provide a built-in tutorial and online guide. The browser will provide simple instructions that are very easy to navigate for a PC novice. It could be either a website that would act as the PC homepage or an app that runs on a smartphone on a tablet PC such as iPad or ePad running the Android operating system. The tutorial navigation would be included in a permanent position of the screen with a clear route to return to the start if someone loses their way.

It will contain lot of feature like: Shopping, Chatting, E-mailing and Listening song and many more depending on their requirements. It is built on simple Html or Asp.Net language with each button when user hover on it .It will beep a sound and tell U where are U and when they spoke that I want to chat then It will redirect to that place and let them know who are online by bots and they chat with mic and listen their voice by headphones who are online. Suppose user want to check mail then bot will let them know that how many have Unread and what is important and what is not just like in Gmail use priority inbox like this same use by this website.

- Enabled by Design "on the go" mobile phone app - making online and offline more accessible
-
Enabled by Design (EbD) is a community of people passionate about Design for All. We believe that good design can support older people and people living with disabilities to live as independently as possible, by helping to make day-to-day tasks that little bit easier. We would like to develop a mobile phone app to allow our community to contribute to our existing website (http://www.enabledbydesign.org) more easily and while out and about. The mobile app would give people the ability to take a photo on their phone of a 'Love', 'Hate' or something they've 'Spotted', write some accompanying text and post it to the site by sending it as a text message. A bit like twitpic but for the Enabled by Design website.

- Game that educates about disabilities, accessibility needs and techniques
-
Advancements in computers and assistive technologies have empowered people with disabilities (PWDs) to lead an independent life. Number of visually impaired flyers is increasing so is the number of wheel chair users who want to go around a museum. However smarter the technologies become, insufficient awareness and lack of sensitization about people with disabilities and their special needs, hinder the possibilities of inclusion. Game environment can be an interesting way to educate the population about accessibility needs and accommodations.
