The Masters of Interactive Multimedia conducted by the IML (Institute of Media Learning) at UTS (University of Tech Sydney) is capped off with a final digital media project. The students are free to choose what they wish to create and are guided by lecturers during the life of the project. As it turns out, I was enrolled to do the project this semester (Feb-June 2008). A few of my friends, also enrolled in the same course, were about to opt for it at the same time. This was good news..as it always nice to have members you have a good rapport with.
Five out of the six people enrolled showed up for the first lecture (the one missing was skiing in Japan at the time !!). We bounced a few ideas around and then decided to go forth with iWiFi Bondi.
We developed an advertisement model to run a hotspot on Bondi Beach, one of the most famous beaches in Sydney and the world, accompanied by a web and mobile portal which provides the user information about the suburb.

We had to present the prototype at Mobile Monday and it was very well received.
