It’s hard to keep track of all the stuff that we need to know in today’s society. Each time my wife logs onto her computer she ends up asking me what the password is for one online account or another. We also have several accounts we track online for balances and deposits too.

Google has announced that it is taking live information from GPS-enabled mobile phones running Google Maps to provide a new map layer with traffic data. The practice, a form of “crowdsourcing,” uses GPS location and motorist speed to determine traffic flow on major roadways, enabling Google to gather enough data to show users when congestion may cause delays on their commute.

The concept of my Android application is to create a way that enables other 3rd party web applications to easily deploy to the Android platform to reach mobile end users. And for mobile end users, my goal is to provide them a list of independently-developed applications on their phone to choose from. They can use one at a time or several at once. Instead of each web application out there having to hire someone like me to develop their app on Android, my software will allow them to do it themselves without the technical Android programming know-how. This ease of integration will lead to many numbers of web apps on Android, and an overall better experience for Android users. Anyone can add an application by implementing the API on the Wer U At website (http://weruat.com/api/).

Below is a summary web applications that have been recently added:

WerUAt Friends: (My wife came up with this idea, and so I developed this application for her) What’s the first question you ask when you call someone on their cell phone? “Where you at?” Or, if you are fluent in the texting language… ‘wer u at’?. By using the WerUAt Friends application, you will stop asking this boring ‘where you at’ question and maybe start talking about more interesting stuff with your friends, because the application will show you where your friends are at (if they want you to) at any given time. You, or they can always turn WerUAt Friends off or on whenever you want. Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever visited a museum and found it so interesting that you have run back to collect an audioguide? The observation of certain pieces of art or architecture are by far a more rich and fulfilling experience when endorsed with the proper background information. Travellers around the world usually dash through lots of places, very likely only scratching the surface of the history or architecture behind the location. Read the rest of this entry »

PedNav is an application that helps you plan your activities efficiently when moving around and interacting with an urban environment. Like a good personal assistant, PedNav first inquires about your general plans for the day. For example, you may want to stop by a certain store, have lunch at a nearby cafe, visit an attraction you heard about, or catch a new movie. PedNav is aware of the location and schedule of relevant “venues” (like restaurants, offices, shops or attractions) near you and of the necessary transportation (bus or trains) to reach these venues. Based on the information you provide, and on the schedules of venues and transportation, PedNav creates a personalized “itinerary”: a time-orderly list of events for the day, specifying when to go where, and how to get there. For example, an itinerary may contain instructions about when to be at a bus stop, which bus to take, where to get out, and when to begin and end an activity at a specific location (such as having lunch at a conveniently located cafe).

GeoPhoto is a subproject of topohilia. Topophilia is a pluggable framework for location based data clustering. A user will be able to define a place (such as a city) and have several applications adding user oriented information about the place. For instance, user A living in London, would be able to add photos, walks, places of interest, friends’ location etc… GeoPhoto, is the first of such applications. It enables a user to take a photo, geolocate it and add general information about the photo/place (label/category, name, description, real address etc…). Read the rest of this entry »

Mvite is an application for you to manage your gatherings with your friends. It allows you to create and send an invite out using SMS, so that even non Android phone users can get the invitation. It allows you to search for venues based on your current location or around an address. You can even read up on what others think about the venue that you have chosen.

Here is a video demonstration of it:
