Project#2: Developing a Personal and Peer-to-Peer Location-Sharing Application

Example 1: In Neer, geofencing is used behind-the-scenes to update a user’s whereabouts and trigger follow-up behaviors. When a Neer user enters or leaves a pre-defined, geofenced region, the application will update accordingly. Friends and family will receive automatic notifications, should the user so specify.
Example 2: Geoloqi offers another approach to private location-sharing. The full-featured mobile and web platform also taps into to geofencing technology so users can leave themselves geo-located notes and perform time-saving automatic location-specific activities — think sending and receiving SMS messages when you enter or leave designated areas.
Example 3: Loopt also leverages background location on iPhone and Android to determine the proximity between you and your Loopt friends, sending automatic alerts should a friend happen to be in the vicinity.

Project#3: Developing a Family Safety Platform with the Mobile and Location Technologies

Ability to locate nearly any phone in real time without installing any software on the child’s phone. Parents can set up scheduled alerts, for example, to provide an update when their child arrives at school or an elderly parent arrives home safely after an appointment. Boundaries can be created to notify parents when a child leaves a designated area, and locations can be saved to review later.
