Person of the Day – NYC iPhone App
Posted: August 20, 2009 Filed under: development, mobile | Tags: application, iphone, kenny perrone, trattoria, twitter, web, williamsburg Comments OffNew York is a city known for its “characters” – people who lead unusual and interesting lives. Each day, Person of the Day – NYC features one such person. Part iPhone application, part website and Twitter feed, Person of the Day – NYC is an integrated celebration of the diversity and madness that is New York City.
Viewing a photo and short biography of the featured person each day will renew your love of life and interest in humanity – the type that lurks in subway entrances and eats pizza while walking in the rain. Furthermore, Person of the Day – NYC will give you just another thing to poke with your index finger while you’re commuting on the subway (yes, the data is cached on your iPhone while you’re underground).
Anyone can nominate anyone else to be the next Person of the Day by simply taking a photo and writing a brief blurb about them. Entries can be submitted via the iPhone app or the P.o.D website.
Pending editorial review, you may just see your nomination show up on iPhones across the world the following day!

M2M Mobile Museum Guide
Posted: June 1, 2006 Filed under: experimental, mobile, user experience | Tags: amnh, museum Comments OffThe M2M Mobile Museum Guide is a proposal done in collaboration with Jared Lamenzo and Shagun Singh to allow visitors to the American Museum of Natural History to augment their museum experience using Sony’s Playstation portable console.
Due to space constraints, the museum is only able to display limited information about any exhibit. Furthermore, at any given time, only a small fraction of the museum’s collection can be displayed. Through a partnership with Sony, the M2M Mobile Museum Guide will create rich interactive experiences that bring to life the valuable artifacts in the museums possession in a way that engages and enhances the educational experience latent in each exhibit.
Visitors will be able to delve deeper into the topics touched upon in the exhibits. With the M2M Mobile Museum Guide, students can play educational games with other students, like treasure hunts in the museum’s collection, take fun quizzes that cover the core topics of each exhibit, bookmark favorite artifacts on display and later retrieve that list of favorites with links to more information about each artifact on the museum’s website.
Pac-Manhattan
Posted: April 1, 2004 Filed under: experimental, mobile, physical computing | Tags: pacmanhattan Comments OffPac-Manhattan is a large-scale urban game that utilizes the New York City grid to recreate the 1980′s video game sensation Pac-Man. This analog version of Pac-man is being developed in NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications graduate program, in order to explore what happens when games are removed from their “little world” of tabletops, televisions and computers and placed in the larger “real world” of street corners, and cities.
Pac-Manhattan revolutionized the field of location-based gaming. It has been picked up and played by teams across the globe.
