Presentation of the winning team of 2007 Internship competition, 22nd of
October,2007
|
 |
The final presentation was held in the AUC campus presenting the
project of the winning 4 team student group from the AUC after spending the
summer with us. BSpark Team(Mona Mahfouz, Soha Sultan, Khaled Hafez, Tarek
Hefni) during their internship period they worked on implementing the proposal
by which they won the competition. Their project was a peer to peer mobile
application for file sharing over BlueTooth.
In their own words "BSpark will allow its users to use their Bluetooth enabled
mobile phones to automatically share files immediately after they are created
with other users. A room is created by one member, which will be referred to as
a BlueRoom.Any BlueRoom member will be able to invite other members to join.
Any member who creates a file in the room - for example captures an image -
will have it instantaneously transferred to all the members of the room the
moment it is captured.The introduction of this empowerment will save
considerable time taken by people who want to share files to numerous
destinations, needless to mention, it will achieve that on the spot thus
preserving the essence of social events."
