BiblioFile seeks to increase social connection through reading- like Tinder for book lovers. It uses public library open data to notify uses of other people with similar reading interests and to connect people with the books that they love. Users can connect with other people who like to read- regardless of location- both online and in the real world. Books can be searched for and requested through the One Card Network - and if it is not available they can request that it is purchased by their local library.

A Smart phone app to make finding Intellectual Property patent claims.

Why?

Currently searching for patents and claims are hard and for new businesses that have a great idea, they want to find out if their idea has already been patented. 

This app will make it easy to find patents by allowing Users to drill down into categories.

Project brief

Invest SA is an info graphic portal for providing insights on latest export trends of South Australia.

Background

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireSA is a fire safety application that alerts you when a bushfire occurs and gives you directions to the nearest bushfire safety zone in your area.

Our data: https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/south-australian-bushfire-safer-prec...

We are creating a parking app which will help to streamline public car parks and payments. We will achieve this by negotiating a continuous 'pay as you go' system for public and kerbside car parks which would be incorporated into in-app payments and parking inspector's data so no need to carry petty cash in your car; it also means that you're not paying for unused time. In addition, we'll have a buddy system, similar to Uber, which notifies users when other users are about to leave parks close to their destination.

datasets: on street parking data

Project Description

Ecovalia is a downloadable "print and play" tabletop board/card game about the development of recreation, conservation and national parks in South Australia. It has the potential to be expanded to be Australia wide.

Data Story

Lungs is a Posthuman, Web of Things IPhone App and Digital Art Installation. The work expresses climate change stress by transposing human mood onto Adelaide Street Trees. Music and visual indicators are used to demonstrate mood state. The project aims to challenge anthropocentrism, encourage climate change action and provide musicians with opportunities to syndicate context aware, nonlinear compositions.

Mood Model

Compare all the things! makes it easier to compare geospatial data sets.

• What's the difference in land use between these suburbs?
• How do these local council regions differ in demographics, and what impact does this have on other key indicators?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of setting up a business in this location as opposed to that one?

These are some of the problems we're trying to address.

The Problem:
For individuals, finding out about things to do at locations is often time consuming, confusing and lacking incentives.
For business & government, getting people to better utilise public spaces, attractions or event offerings can be difficult and expensive. Gaining data over actual utilisation of those offerings is also difficult, and so often ignored.

Truflr brings the needs of both sets of users together, incentivising the public to get off their couch and go exploring!

What is the difference between Marion and Modbury? 

Our hack will be a play-off between suburbs to give people a chance to objectively compare suburbs, using more than just the ABS data currently used on Real Estate websites. We aim to make it fun, with a chance to challenge your friends' suburbs on different areas including Road Safety, Income, Crime Stats, health and hospital services, and more!
