BarTalk Project Proposal for 1′ 2′ 10′
February 19, 2009 – 12:06 pmFor our final project, Matt Young and I will design and develop BarTalk, our idea for a social network centered around bars. BarTalk will allow bar patrons to interact with each other and the bar as a whole using their mobile device. It allows for patrons and bartenders to interact in new ways.
A user’s mobile phone is automatically detected via Bluetooth when they walk into the bar. Once this happens, the user will be able to interact with the bar and with other BarTalk users in close proximity, resulting in a mobile social network of complete strangers in your immediate surroundings. Development will include a mobile component that will be the primary interface communication, a web service for new users to register with and for bars to run the application on, and a TV to display user-generated media and facilitate participation.
This project expands upon the first iteration of BarTalk.

dude, i know this is totally random i’m commenting on your site, but have you been to remote lounge? i think it’s closed now, but here the site: http://www.remotelounge.com/parties.html...
different ways of encouraging participation in bars where each table had a webcam and a phone and you could scroll through the different tables and call whomever you wanted and take pics of people to put them online…kinda similar idea…
