Overview
Google has several platforms that serve billions of users. For our New Media Motion Graphics class, my partner and I were assigned one of these, along with a current/future technology and a very specific audience - all at random. Our task was to turn this Google product on its head by leveraging the technology to benefit the audience.
Problem
We were assigned Google Photos, AR/VR, and people that live in cities.
In the US, most major cities have a large population of transplanted residents, people who were born in another city, state or country and later moved for reasons like jobs, education or family.
Moving to a new city can be hard, so how can we help to connect those people to their new homes and their old ones and make a big world feel smaller?
Solution
We designed for city dwellers using VR technlogy and Google Photos.
Our sprint resulted in a pitch video for our new product: Google Scrapbook.
Google Scrapbook utilizes Google Photos and Google Earth to create a nostalgic walk down memory lane for the user.
