Right so i've created a demo video for this piece of work. This is mainly because i encountered a number of different problems when trying to code the application for the Iphone.
The main one being my lack of knowledge of C++
Here is the link to the demo

IDAT210 - Implementation
So once i've done the designs of the interface i decided to create a couple things to show how the application will be implemented.
Once the user arrives at the festival for example, they will be able to locate a wireless Wi-Fi network on their mobile phone.
Then to connect to the Wi-Fi network they will use the unique number that they will be able to find on their ticket.
Once they access the wirless network, and enter the code, they will be able to download the application. Once they have this downloaded they will be able to access it from their phones menu.

IDAT210 - Designs
Ok so after coming across the main problem in my application and fixing it i decided to start designing interfaces.
This is the main menu system for the application. The user will be able to load up any of the links by touching any of the links.
The interface also includes the logo of the application and the ability to fully navigate around the interface.

IDAT210 - Development Part 2
I recently came across a major flaw in my project. As i was designing the application i found that a major problem with the program.
If you need to find your friend in a big crowd, a GPS location of them is not really going to help so i needed to develop something that will actually show the friend.
So i came up with a new feature for the program. You will be now be able to load up the camera on the mobile application, scan the area that your standing in. Then the camera will display the location of the friend your trying to find.
This sytem is called augmented reality, developing something on top of current reality.
The image above was an early version of the augmented reality feature, however i felt that it was neccessary to include some on-screen prompts that will show the exact distance and location of the friend.

IDAT210 - Development Part 1
So now i've defined what im going to do i started my development of the program.
To begin with i decided how i would show my product, whether i would actually create the application or just develop a prototype with images.
I think for now im going to develop it as if i could create it even if i do run out of time to actually create it.
To begin with ive done a couple diagrams to show the workings of my system.
IDAT210 - Friend Finder
Well its time i start developing my idea i think, as i said earlier, Friend Finder is a small application that is available to users that go to largely populated events such as music festivals and football games.
The system allows users to create friends lists, view useful information and then find their friends whilst at the events. The application is designed for the Iphone however could easily be designed for Android/Normal mobile devices.

IDAT210 - Augmented Reality Links
Well as i said in my last post i thought i would give a link to my work from another module.
The first link will take you to a product page for my final product.
http://www.garrybarter.com/ar/project.html
The second link will take you to the blog posts for that module. These explain my thoughts throughout the development of my work.

IDAT210 - Updated research
Quick post about research for my new idea. As my new idea sticks to the fundamentals of my previous idea i think it would be pretty pointless just to post it up again.
However i have decided to change one of my 5 keywords...
LOCATIVE MEDIA
SOCIAL NETWORKING
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM
MOBILE TECHNOLOGY
AUGMENTED REALITY
I have decided to change online security to augmented reality. This is because after completing a project for another module and i feel that this technology could become very useful.

IDAT210 - New Idea
Ok so after discussing my idea with Ben i have decided to create a new idea.
Ben suggested that i stick with my initial idea to an extent, but instead choose an area and focus on it instead of doing a broad, general idea.
So i started thinking about combining social networking and locative media on a smaller scale than before.
I used the idea of looking for your friends in nightclubs on nights out, and using your mobile to do this. This got me thinking of other situations where you will need to find your friend.
So i came up with the idea of Friend Finder. Friend Finder helps the user find their friends in large scale organised events, such as music festivals and football games.
So i designed a logo for it. Here it is
