Week 5

Week five.

I have joined up with Mary and Katie and taken on their Brief. 

I have taken up the task of researching existing apps that do similar things to what we have in mind

Popular Apps Parents can play with their kids.

• Heads up: Guessing game is family fun with real-world interaction.
• Charades!: With different challenges from dancing, singing, acting or sketching -- guess the word on the card that’s on your head from your friends’ clues before the timer runs out!
• Geocaching: Is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world.

• Out-A-Bout: Is a great combination of a fun outdoor physical activity and book-reading with the use of technology. Families and friends go around taking pictures of scenarios provided by the app, and those pictures are then used to create a story. Families can then save the story and share it with others.
  
  
  
• Nature Cat’s Great Outdoors: Captures your outdoor experiences
  
  
  
  
  
• Plum’s Creaturizer: Make creatures and take pics outside for fantastic fun.
  
  
  
• Plum's Photo Hunt: Fun nature missions get kids outside; safe sharing options.
  
  
  

Common Sense Media: Give your smartphone or tablet a workout while you and the kids head outside for some healthy, tech-infused fun. Apps designed for outdoor adventures let kids do everything from studying bugs to identifying constellations and creating a compilation video of bike stunts.

Brainstorming and expanding our current idea of an app. After last weeks exercise, it opened up some fresh ideas we could apply to what we already had in mind.
