Tag-along app
Design Brief To design a mobile application for gated communities which Brings society closer Bridges communication gaps Increases connectivity & accessibility within the community
Objective Explore the current context and envision a product and service opportunities that can enhance the experience of interactions within a gated community which affects the life of users and satisfies their unique unmet needs.
Motivation Every day more gated communities are coming up with great infrastructure and facilities but the society aspect of it coming down; people don’t even know who is living next to them. The information flow in these communities is also not up to the mark. I see a potential for good synergy within the community which will lead to more convenience and better development both on a community as well as individual level
Current Trend At present day as the size and magnitude of the communities are increasing, there is focus on administrative aspects and social aspect is often neglected. Existing apps:
Areas of intervention
Understanding community
Research question 1)How long have you been living in the community? 2)How many people do you know in your community? 3)How do you know them? 5)Do you prefer socializing with the community members 6)How do you engage youeself during free time? 7)Do you avail all the facilities in the communities? 9)Do you particpate in th events conducted in the communities 10)Do you have a proper communication platform in the community?
Oppurtunity area Even though people in communities want to engage themselves socially there is’nt a platform for them to connect,participate and organize
