Project 1: FamilyEscape

Context

when? where? who? why?

Many people are locked into a routine and do not take the time to do family activities outside the city where they live. Their overloaded daily routine does not allow them to afford a vacation. In addition, many constraints - lack of time, lack of money, lack of ideas, organizational concerns or lack of means of travel - limit the opportunities for family activities.

People need to get away from it all, have activities that take them out of their daily routine, take the pressure off and have a good time with family or friends, or even on their own if they feel like it. It seems to be very important for people to let go, and people need that to be happy.

Target

for whom?

Our site is for everyone as everyone wants to get away from they daily life. However, our website has more of a family vision and therefore will address and be designed for families so that they can discover museum together and improve their knowledge of our world. People who want to do family activities and feel the need to escape from their daily and urban life. Our web service will allow families with different financial means to find what suits them best to escape. The proposed activities and destinations will be classified by budget so that each family can find things to do according to their budget. Our service is therefore accessible and adapted to everyone.

Service offered

what? how?

A website with outdoor and indoor activities as well as places, destinations. The activities are classified by area (catering, sport, discovery, thrills, rest, etc.) and by the time needed to complete them so that users can find an activity that corresponds to their wishes and availability. The destinations are also classified by category (change of scenery, countryside, mountain, seaside, etc.) to facilitate the search. The budget necessary for transport and the carrying out of the activities is also indicated so that it is possible to define one's programme according to one's financial resources. Once the user has determined the destination where he or she wishes to go and the activities that he or she wishes to do, an artificial intelligence will propose a programme, according to the availability indicated by the user, so that the family can set off on the adventure when they can. We therefore propose a website that accompanies people in the organization of their family outing so that they have only one thing to think about, having fun!

    Project 2: Museum Immersion

    Context

    when? where? who? why?

    People are going to museums less and less. Visiting a museum and the works in it is a way of escaping from our daily lives that can be annoying. Going to a museum as a family is a way of escaping from one's city by discovering the masterpieces of other cultures coming from other countries, the vestiges of ancient civilizations. Museums thus offer us a journey not only in space but also in time and there is nothing better to escape from one's daily life. It is this sad observation of the decline in family visits to museums that makes us want to propose a website that allows people to visit a museum from their armchair by simply using their smartphone and our website.

    We want people to go to museum. We can in a certain way invite them to do so on our website. Cultural wealth is a scarce resource that everyone should be able to access. If people can't go to a museum, our website allows them to visit a museum from their living room. If they can do it as a family, each on their own mobile phone or together on the same one, it's even better.

    Target

    for whom?

    Our site is for everyone as everyone wants to get away from their daily life. However, our website has more of a family vision and therefore will address and be designed for families so that they can discover museum together and improve their knowledge of our world. Our service is therefore accessible and adapted to everyone.

    Family don’t have enough money or time to go to the place they want. As a solution, they can search the place on our website, see the virtual scenery through website or by 3D glasses; they can also search and go to the 3D Experience Hall nearby to try the experience more authentic.

    Service offered

    what? how?

    We offer a website where users choose the museum they want to visit. An artificial representation of the interior of the museum appears on the user's mobile phone, and the user can move around inside the museum just using their finger. When people will arrive in front of a piece of art, they will be able to access a description of the piece of art. On natural museums, video of animal in their natural living places will be proposed to life the experience the best way as possible.

    Our website propose a king of guided visit in the museum with a clear description of each piece of art they will see in virtual reality thanks to a virtual recreation of the interior of different museum. A list of museums will be present on the website according to the museum that would have accepted that their museum is virtually reproducted in the website. The museums will be classified according to their kind. Videos will be accessible so that people can go further in their discovery.

    Web Interface

    Our website requires the creation of a mobile application that will centralize the virtual representation of all the museums that would have accepted to be present on the website (against remuneration). Also a lot of photos, videos and descriptions will be contained in the website.

    People will be able to create their account which will allow the site to remember information about people and instantly offer them a choice of museums and find out what their preferences are.

    Finally, users will be able to give their opinion on the visit they have done and whether our website has been useful to them and if their experience has been a pleasure. This will create a community of users who will then be able to communicate directly with each other and give their feedback on what the website has offered them and they will have a chat place to share their brand new knowledge about what they have discovered.
