Shuffle TLV

First draft of UI screens

These are two examples of the first UI app screens made by the product department.

Choose Your time...

You and the nearest gems in the city.
Choose one and see what hides behind each gem.

While brainstorming the idea, deciding on the main features, drawing rough sketches of the main concept screens, we had to check out our competition.

Today, it feels like everything was already invented and we have no chance of creating a new idea. That's what makes this stage of the progress so important.

These are the main application competitions all over the world.
* Stray Boots - an application which discovers the coolest parts of the your city in a fun, interactive way with no reservations, no set schedule, and no Debbi Downers. Founded in New York City, using a mobile technology and smart clever content to explore the city.
Available on the AppStore (not free).

* City Quest - Every city has its secrets. Imagine being given the key to unlock and discover them. Embarking on the CityQuest™ game experience will transform the player into a true adventurer discovering the city, its history and hidden mysteries.

* TripAdvisor - Plan and have your perfect trip with TripAdvisor. With over 75 million candid reviews and opinions by travelers, TripAdvisor makes it easy to find the best hotels, great restaurants, and fun things to do, wherever you go. Our robust flight search helps you find airfare deals, even on the go. And booking options for hotels, restaurants, and airfare are just a tap away.

What makes us so unique is the fact that our application is in Hebrew and all of our data information will come directly from well-known opinion leaders who live in Tel-Aviv. These people will share with us and our future app users their secret places, the best attractions to visit while staying in Tel-Aviv. Further more, the user will determine how much time he has to spend in the city, and the app will help the user to make the best of the time he has to spend.

First came the diamonds...

We started with diamonds or gems as our main feature for our app.

Behind each gem hides a secret place in TLV...

Making progress

Every week we met with our own mentor - Ofer Shani.

He helps us focus on the product ideas in every way possible!

Thanks Ofer!! :)

Some art work that inspires us...

You have to check out this site! Ron Shoshani took some photos in Tel-Aviv and they look really artistic and absolutely amazing.

Enjoy…

Map of Tel-Aviv divided into sections

For those who don’t know, this is the map of Tel-Aviv divided into different sections: North, South, Center, City Heart and Jaffa.

We used this information to discover the secret places in each section.

A group shot

This project was produced by a group of interactive communication and computer science students.

Our goal for this project is to revive the city of Tel-Aviv in a whole new way, with a unique application which will help people all around Israel discover the secret places in the city.
