Week 8 - Blog Summary

My idea to have a running live feed of all SU athletic facilities has greatly developed over these past 8 weeks. It started with a simple idea to have a live video feed of all work out facilities on the campus of Syracuse University. It is now called ScoUt where the SU stands for Syracuse University. ScoUt will have live constant feeds of all SU Athletic Facilities on campus including south campus. The past blogs have helped develop this small idea into a full blown website.
The Blog post about privacy is probably one of the most important posts because signs would have to be posted throughout all monitored facilities to let the students know they are on camera. RFID chips are also a relatively new feature that could greatly effect the results of this website. If every students SUID card had an RFID chip on it we could simple set up a scanner in each facility and take a quick poll on how many people are currently using the facility. This will allow ScoUt to display how many people there at a specific facility are in ratio to the max capacity. This can give students a percentage on how busy each facility is and help plan the students time to work out etc.
ScoUt will simply be beneficial to everyone and will free up space at the SU work out facilities. In my blog review I reviewed a company that specializes in life video feeds and actually used there technology at a Mixed Martial Arts gym. The idea has been used but SU can take it to the next level and make it campus wide. I can tell you from first hand experience that time management in college is everything and going to a gym when it is fully packed can make everyones workout a lot longer. My website has developed over these eight weeks into something that could actually be implemented here at SU. Here are the other student blogs I commented on.
