ALLGUARD The first smart life preserver. By UST, developed with NYU Poly
HELPING GUARDS SAVE LIVES
UST is a company specializing in simple low tech survival gear. The brand is sold at REI and other outdoor equipment stores. A void exists for them to carry high tech equipment not only for everyday customers but also companies and branches that specialize in public safety. Working with NYU Poly allowed me to utilize their syntactic foam material to design a durable lifeguard buoy to help save lives. If a lifeguard misses a save, ALLGUARD will be in the water to respond when a situation arises.

SLICE APP Creating an app concept to count calories and give back to the community.
Created by : Charlie Tan HuiYing, Jonathan Avila, Rocky Balboa and Anthony Ruiz
For this short project we were given the task of creating a calorie counting app. The app could be given it’s own set of features as long as it was able to count calories. We decided to use the app to help give back to the community. Being fortunate enough where we can own smart phones and have food on our table why not help those less fortunate in addition to staying healthy?
We designed the app for college students and young professionals. This demographic enabled us to use a platform similar to social media in order to gain a younger audience. This platform enables our user to share their progress as well as help raise money for local food banks.

He then sends a challenge to Jim raise more money
Jim sees the challenge on the Slice app from Josh to meet his goal
They both meet their goals and help raise money
Josh and Jim send invites over social media to friends to get Slice
