Description

A mobile app was decided as the software platform. People often experience special moments that are associated with a location. It was decided to provide a means to converge location and personal memories to capture the essence of a moment. By using geo location one can save a memory to a specific spot on a map. These memories can then be enjoyed and reflected upon at any time. Photos and description entries were chosen as a means of record.

I share so many moments went my friends at this place. I would love a way to take all my captured memories here and have them nicely organized.

It would be cool to view a map that displays all the various moments I have had around the globe.

I always pay attention to random locations and often “I wonder if anything out of the ordinary happened there or if the location holds importance to someone” for whatever reason”. This train of thought prompted me to be able to log my special moments to random places.
