Woahh! - The Brief....gulppp!! -_-


This is the briefing that we get from OZCHI24 at 8.00a.m (Malaysia) or 10.00a.m(Australia)...waiting for the question from 7.00a.m with question mark circling in our head :)

The Brief

The growing prevalence of cloud computing, mobile devices, and fast mobile networks are quickly changing the landscape for software systems. For designers, these technologies provide opportunities to change how people work collaboratively and generally interact with each other. Unfortunately, most systems to date focus on collaboration of geographically dispersed groups, thereby limiting the way these devices enhance everyday life. Beyond remote collaboration, these technologies offer great potential to enhance the way we collaborate on tasks when working together with colleagues and friends we interact with everyday. 

Your task is to design a system that takes advantage of cloud computing, mobile devices, and fast mobile networks to enhance the way people interact with each other collaboratively. Focus on enhancing the way people collaborate in everyday environments: these may be work-related projects or more playful activities. The system should take advantage of a range of platforms, including desktop computers, tablet computers, and smartphones, that are already available or envisioned to become available in the next two to three years

We are in particular interested in seeing ways of exploring mobile access to the system in situations beyond the traditional workplace. For example consider two people on a trip together, people working on the go, friends meeting up for a sports activity. Consider how in such situations people would be able to browse and access all the data that is now stored in the cloud. Think beyond the use of technology as a pure digital interface and consider the relationships between digital devices and the physical environment. For example, how would the system allow people to capture information in the world that might be relevant to their collocated interaction with others? 


GO GO GO!!! find the solutions guys :D
