2. What is FLIP and why do I want it so badly? The average adult travels 32 miles in a day 1 Adolescent: 8 (4.6 to school and back) 2 College Student: (1 mile?) no data found Yet our “mobile devices” spend very little time actually moving. All focused around key communities

3. Purpose : Community Flip effortlessly connects individuals to their communities not only without infrastructure. Proximity - Geocentric Scale Volume Security Research Question: “How can we create a wireless networking system that allows users to connect to each other within a geographical area without central infrastructure.”

4. Overarching goals Develop a product that is user friendly. Facilitate connections between mobile devices. Accelerate global communications development.

5. Methodology – Product Development Customer Needs Product Specification Alternative Concepts Most Suitable Concept SubsystemsPrototype Building for Production Distribution Tracking the Product

6. Product Specifications

7. Considering alternative concepts Dongle Bluetooth Ad-hoc networks and IEEE 802.11 Push!Music

8. Prototyping Create simulations for different parts of application Ad-hoc connections File sharing Use simulations to create larger program Testing/Tracking Internal testing Student testing - wide released application with bug reports/phone home functionality Modifying Analyze data and change program accordingly Source code --> open

10. Unchained from the web, Ideas flow like spring breeze, Flip, I need you now.

12. How is it different from existing programs?
