Go Now
Assignment: Design a ubiquitous computing solution that aids the coordination of ride sharing.

Our solution: The GoNow system was designed to allow individuals to easily coordinate ridesharing to/from a shared location. We designed a multiplatform system that utilizes a web interface, a client-side toolbar application, as well as a kiosk placed in the entrance/exit to a shared location. The web interface allows users to proactively view any currently offered or requested rides, or create a new offer or request. The toolbar application provides an unobtrusive method for notifying users of a currently offered ride offer or request. The kiosk is utilized to further encourage participation between individuals, at the point of decision.
