Moments Share: Collaborative sharing of photos

Abstract

Mankind is steadily becoming more involved with technology in the everyday life. A significant percentage of people own a smartphone, and Internet connectivity has never had such a reach as it happens nowadays. This means that everything can be connected, at any time. Smartphones can be useful to a wide amount of tasks, and to support this reality, everyday new mobile applications arise. Though, there is one particular use case that is not properly explored by any application as of today. When a group of friends go on vacations together, they often take umpteen photos with their smartphones. And today this scenario triggers an issue. Why does not every member of the group have access to the photos taken by everyone, immediately? Why do they have to wait, commonly, for weeks and weeks, until everyone decides to share the contents with the group? This is what happens today, but this internship intends to solve this problem with a mobile application: Momentum. This internship will focus on developing an iOS application prototype for Momentum, with the purpose of solving the previously stated problem in an innovative way. Momentum will offer the users a private space for sharing their photos in a collaborative way.
