SmartCrowd

SmartCrowd is an application developed for a research project. It allows the user to safely enjoy large events such as festivals, live concerts, street parades, etc.

SUBSCRIBE TO AN EVENT Using the SmartCrowd app, the user can subscribe to any available event (e.g., Fribourg Campus Fever 2014, Paléo Festival 2015, etc.) and receive information in real time about the event organization (map, scheduling, etc.).

STAY SAFE During the event, SmartCrowd uses anonymously the users’ location to detect in real time dangers and hazardous conditions, and to provide aimed information about possible congestions, the nearest emergency exit, fire extinguishers, etc.

ENJOY THE FESTIVAL To help the user enjoy the festival, the application provides contextual information about the near stands and shops and their offers.

PARTAKE SmartCrowd allows the user to take part in contests and games created by the organizers in order to win gadgets, reductions... and satisfaction!
