As my dissertation looks and mobile phones and my 4D project explores skateboarding I want to my combine the two to create my project. My idea comes from there being lack of information on skate spots and parks and how mobile phones could be used to solve this problem.
I would like to create a project where a skater can use their mobile phone to take a photo of a park/spot they have found and wants to share with others. They could then send the picture along with its GPS position to a website where all the parks/spot are stored and displayed for others to see. This means the website can be updated on the fly meaning it can be more accurate and update to date than other similar sites.
There are already websites with information on parks and spots but many do not have photos and a lot of the information either missing or inaccurate. This makes it difficult for skaters to judge if it worth traveling for miles to skate a place.
