This project, WABBI, introduces a web and mobile platform designed to centralize point-of-interest (POI) discovery and event (experience) advertisement through a dynamic, multi-layered mapping interface. The application organizes user-generated events as well as real-time data from external APIs into thematic layers, such as sports, food, and concerts. Unlike traditional services, this application utilizes a hierarchical hexagonal grid system to add a gamification element where users and groups compete for territorial "capture" of map hexes by earning points through verified contributions, including reviews, media uploads, and check-ins.
The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
