Detailed Description

In this internship requires to gain knowledge to develop an opinion on the past and future of mobile computing. This objectives will be achieved by adding significant events to the existing Mobile Computing Timeline developed by bRnd Studio. Using the lens of hardware, software and services to tell each story. This exercise will lay the ground work for the next phase of the internship. Based on the learning of the first exercise, sketch and prototype a web based research tool that assists in gathering and visualizing historical data. To do this start by benchmarking existing timeline tools and other applications like pintrest, flipboard etc. Then brainstorm what a Timeline Tool would look and feel like. Follow that by creating a flow analysis of the tool in mind. Develop screen shots and animations of the interactions the tool will offer. The tool should assist the user in archiving facts found on the internet at the time of discovery, while also giving them the ability to add a written summary, images, audio or video to the finding before saving them to the database. Once the content has been added to the database the user should have the ability to view the data in multiple ways such as timelines, lists, 2X2 matrixes etc. In addition users should be able to add comments and share events with others directly from the tool. The aesthetic of the online solution should complement the physical Timeline cards developed by bRnd Studio. The tool should have a clear, simple and effective interface while being easy to use. The initial target user for such a system are members of a design research and development teams.
