The idea…
With iterative methods of updating the kind of collaborative work which could have more impact on the physical and social environment than the digital media itself, we realized that there could only be a desperate need of information and support when one does not feel “at home”.

What better than to let the user go travelling with a bunch
of friends to a foreign land allowing the user to rely not only on information
provided on the internet but also instant updates by their travel-mates who’ve
decided to explore the place based on
their likes and dislikes.
Various reasons to travel….
Various reasons to travel….
We explored the various reasons for travel which included
holidays along with conference meetings, business trips, educational
excursions, internships etc. In every case no matter how well the user is pre-prepared
the very idea of being in an unknown land brings in a sense on uneasiness.
General use
Cloud computing along with smart phones and mobile devices is precisely the technology of interest in such circumstances where using advance methodologies like image processing and augmented reality could help the user instantly capture and upload the image of a nearby location which could allow him/her to not only locate himself/herself but also to differentiate between a cultural, resident or eatery spot!

Speaking in terms of the kind of traveller
1.
Tourists could get the places to visit along
with the reviews of other tourists from their land as well as others. These could
also be prioritized according to the areas of interests.
2.
The professors and students attending conferences
in foreign land could get a dynamic update of the other members of the
conference acquiring information like their arrival, accommodation, research
interest etc.
3.
The business groups could get information about
other competitions in the market, country wise hits etc.
4.
The students on foreign internships could get
information about other interns from their own country and from other places. These
interns could collaborate to reduce the sense of loneliness experienced by
interns with no company.
5.
Inter-disciplinary excursions where each department
students would have their own places of interest could update their experience
to others rating the place as a must visit or not.
Further applications
The dispersed groups could also decide a common meeting point with cloud computing service allowing finding the commonplace nearest to all. In future if face recognition technique allows the system to identify a user, their experiences, reviews, likes and dislikes could be downloaded to subjectively and vicariously make an informed decision. The means of commuting along with the nearby restaurants could be additional help not only by the system but by close by users.

The crux of the concept is
To bridge those unnoticed gaps in a group conversation and reach the efficiency of collaboration as seen in bees and ants i.e Swarm Intelligence!
After struggling for almost 30 mins to get the video uploaded we're finally done! Feels amazing to expect a new beginning with an amazing end!
