Ideas

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.

Go For Local

It is about having the internet or app space to ask for something if you wanted it as a user of services, and being able to say that you can provide it in response as a small business, or a social enterprise. It is about being able to list what you provided, and who for. It is about anyone in the local area being able to provide feedback on those services, shaping how the local market develops. It is about putting accountability and consumer power into the hands of those who most need those services, who are often vulnerable, and who often feel unable to express dissatisfaction or room for improvement for services. And it’s about making those services most accessible and user-friendly through a simple web interface for vulnerable people in their own homes.

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.

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.
