IdeaToMarket
An android app that was designed to help start-ups analyze the field they were jumping into before delving deep, by comparing the start-up's predicted financial ratios to the big 5's and low 5's in the field chosen, financial ratios.
TesLock
Taking into consideration the data available from the car and the data that is accessible from the Android API, my team came up with a design to prevent texting while driving. Our app prevents users from getting any notification while driving, including calls except in states where taking calls is permitted. Also, an auto-matted message is sent to the sender informing that the receiver is driving. The app will run in the background and check for the location of the car as well as turn on when the speed is above a certain limit.
