Bus Route News: The BlueTooth device would be placed on the Buses or at the Bus Stops. The idea is when you travel you can download local news and then read it for entertainment on the bus. The news can possibly be time based, changing from to morning to evening.
Crescent Colours: The crescents found in Bridgetown would be used as a place to promote change within the community. A BlueTooth box would be placed at the crescent and the message would ask people to “vote” for the crescent. If it receives enough votes all the perimeter walls on the street side, would get painted. A sponsor would be needed.
Bring in Colour to someones’ life: The BlueTooth box would be placed on the bus and ask people to photograph or sms a house number within a preselected street. The one with the most votes would get a surprise “mini facelift”, all the outside walls facing the street would be painted a bright new colour. A sponsor would be needed working in conjunction with Rlabs and possibly involving school kids to do the painting.
Main Idea on “Bring in Colour to someones’ life”: Instead of having to ask people to put on their BlueTooth with a poster and receiving the actual message from the box, we decided that the poster can be the actual message. It will inform people of the “voting competition” with all the necessary details and ask to send the vote back to the BlueTooth Box. On the poster pictures of the possible houses are show, but with no reference to where it is in Athlone, the pictures can even be more criptic showing only details of the buildings. Each picture would have a number which will be used to vote for it. In this case the BlueTooth Box is only used as a vote counter or receiver, it is not pushing any information towards mobile phones. This use of “BlueToothing” a vote will save the user airtime.
