GurunGo
The Challenge: Users have access to a large amount of information on their
Personal Computers that helps them to make decisions and be informed. Although this
plethora of information is available to a user when they are using their Personal
Computer, there is a limitation on how the user can take that data on the go.
We decided to create a system which would not only allow users to take certain data
with them, but would augment this data in such a way to make it more useful.
Our Solution: GurunGo – the Guru on the Go – serves as a helpful aid to
users as it provides them with information that they have identified that they need
on the go. Users can access information by whatever method they are used to on their
PCs, and then transfer it by simple copy and paste interaction to their cell phone.
The current implementation allows for the transfer of driving directions and
shopping list items, as well as automatic weather alerts. GurunGo also allows for
the transfer of short notes. The mobile device that supports the implemented version of
GurunGo is the Windows Mobile SmartPhone.
