A recent study by the Vancouver Foundation found that social isolation was the single largest concern for residents in the Lower Mainland. Furthermore, many individuals living in Metro Vancouver are "retreating from community life" (Vancouver Foundation, 2012).
As designers, we hoped to capture an opportunity to help eliminate social isolation through encouraging users to engage within their communities while also providing an accessible and convenient method to do so. It's getting out into the community and taking part in social activities that sparks engagement and creates the possibility of change. As a result, we created Pronto: an app that personally invites users to local, real-time events that mach their specific interests.

Ani-Eye is my grad project with my partner, Clara. The initial idea for this project stems from our question: how do animals view the world? since most children do not live animals (for example they live away from the farm) .This is App presenting animal’s different vision of the world. In our project, we intend to show animals through their own eyes.
