  • The Claw
    Group 4: Hu Qiang, Lim Cze Vin Kenneth, Peng Jun, Saikrishnan Ranganathan

    This is a simple abstraction of the “Claw machine” game you commonly see in most arcades today. While most claw machines offer cute plush toys as rewards, our game aims to reward users with equally cute looking beans. There exists a marketplace where you will be able to sell your beans for extra tokens, or to purchase beans for their collection. Can you collect them all? The Claw will move horizontally from left to right and you would have to press and hold Spacebar at the desired time to halt the movement of The Claw. The Claw will then release and head down towards the Beans in an attempt to pick them up to drop it into the release area. Your beans are added automatically to your collection from where you can interact with the marketplace. So press Spacebar and grab your beans!

  • Been That! Done That!
    Group 6: Kenny Tan How Cheng, Tey Jun Hong, Li Lianjie Anthony

    Have you ever look at your friend's photos and wonder how to get there? Have you ever wanted to declare that you have been to a place and done that amazing thing to your friend? Have you ever felt that Facebook does not offer enough functionality to properly categorize where all your past amazing experiences are? With so many friends going to so many places, do you find it hard to find out where all your friends went to? 'Been There Done That'(BTDT) attempts to answer all these questions by providing the individual with an interface to put all your wonderful experiences into one map in the form of 'BTDT' tags. Synthesizing google maps api and facebook api, we attempt to let at you look at the exact location of your friend's experience. At the same time, you can document your experience by creating these 'BTDT' tags. In the process, you declare to your friends that you have been there and done that amazing thing. Not just stopping at that, BTDT attempts to help you categorize the things you have done there with a meaningful symbol on the map. Unlike websites like panoramio (http://www.panoramio.com/map/), our application offers exclusivity to your own friends and it helps you to look at where your friends have went to and what have they done in one whole map just simply by browsing through these BTDT tags on the map. With this application, we hope that the user can leave behind those days of browsing through their friends' latest albums one by one to search for that one location they have went to.

  • MQueue
    Group 2: Aldrian Obaja Muis, Ding Mingzhe, Ajay Gopalakrishnan, David Tan

    mQueue redefines how customers wait to be seated at restaurants or nightlife venues. Conventionally, customers queue in lines or provide their names and wait around till they are called out. This is especially dominant in places that do not accept reservations. Some restaurants have innovated, providing ‘beepers’ to customers. These ‘beepers’ buzz when it is their turn to be seated. However, customers have no indication of where in the queue they stand or how far out of range they can go. mQueue translates the physical queues into digital ones, making them conveniently accessible, wirelessly and remotely, across mobile platforms.

Users can also look at posts published by other users, and they can comment on them.

  • Me, too!
    Group 6: Jiang Hao Yuan, Zhan Yingbo, Nguyen Hoang Duy, Aaron Guan Yilun

    People often make mistakes, sometimes people make the same mistake over and over again, simply because it’s hard to remember what mistakes that they have made and how many times they have made the same mistake. Our application seeks to solve this problem by keeping track of what mistakes and how many times the mistakes are made. Also, sometimes the mistakes that people made are so silly that they want to share with others, thus, while keeping track of all their mistakes, our application also provides a platform for people to share their mistakes with their friends through Facebook.

  • Singapore River
    Group 8: Yin Yue, Tran Cong Hoang, Lim Cze Vin Kenneth, Joshua Ng

    Despite living in today’s information age, priceless historical data is still very much inaccessible by the general public. Kept away in their respective vaults, these “hidden” archival data never really made it into the hands of users. Our application aims to bridge the gap between users and the “hidden” archival data tucked away in the National Archives of Singapore. The old-school pen and paper style of history education is both boring and uncool. As such, our application hopes to garner the visual prowess of html5 to bring forth history in a way befitting of today’s technological standards.

With this in mind, Meet2Eat was designed to advise users (on an event level) on the most central location for all involved parties to come together. This coupled with suggestions of the best places and available promotions in the region allows our users to make an informed decision to get a bang on their buck and time.
