How is Application different from Carousell?

Concept
Why Sharing?
Borrowing from neighbors was once a commonplace practice, part of the web of relations we once had with those who lived within close range.

Sharing is being break down into 2 section – Food and Tools.
Why Food? Food is a more universal items among human.  Food is more than a substance, it can be use to represent community.
Why Tools? Most items we own are used less than once a month. So why buy when we can Share?

Upon registration, Users will be added into his/ her block community.

Share Credit – Replace money with share credit.
How it work?  For every items listed successfully shared with others, owner receive 1 share credit whereby it can be used to request for other items shared by other owner. So, this encourage and motivate people to share their items as they need the share credit to request for items.

For a successful help on block ‘notice board’, neighbour get 2 share credit.  ( Is more time consuming )

Every Sign up starts with 5 share credit.

Motivate to share and meet neighbours because it not only help save money, but also help to build the bond between neighbours (main reason).

Additional to Foods and Tools, Users can share their service on their block ‘notice board’
Neighbours that are of the same block will receive notification of request and people might reply with help or suggestion on people that could help.

Character Introduction for Sharing Video

KamShare acts as a stepping stone to get users to interact with their neighbors, get to know each other more and improve the trust between neighbors.

Block 175A is a new HDB built in the 2017s. Sophia, Noah, Adeline and James just moved into their house for a few months and have not interact with any neighbors because they are always busy with work and almost everyone in the block choose to keep their door closed.

Sophia lived with her husband, and they don’t cook often.

However, today, Sophia decided to cook and she need 2 tomato. When she visit the grocery store, she realized that they only sell tomato in a bag of 6. So, she have no choice but to get the bag of tomato even though she only need 2.

Noah lived with his wife but they are always busy at work and have no time for grocery shopping so they tend to buy their grocery online.

Today, Noah only want to get 4 tomato.

With Kamshare, Sophia can put the extra tomato that she bought up for sharing at a small amount of price and noah can then purchase and collect it on his way back home from work.

This sharing, allow sophia and noah to know of each other as neighbors and give them time for a small chat.

Adeline is a stay home mom who loved to cook but she always tends to cook too much and result in a waste of food.

James is living alone and have been eating out.

With KamShare, Adeline can Share her home cook food and James can request and collect it after work. Adeline and James then have a chance to communicate over meal or when they meet for sharing. ­

Interaction Between Neighbours

Mobile Application

Interact online (Virtual) – Meet offline (Physical)Search by location, Block on map. Prioritise proximity over categorization

Price are set relatively low because users that use the application to share, are users that are willing to share and build connection with neighbours , not to earn money.

Profile include trade, skills (Reference to kampong people normally are aware of each other trade and will approach them when needed)
Notice board allow users to post request and share news to everyone.

Comment By friends after testing out of application
Instead of dropping off @void deck  why not place at Doorstep. Kampong also did it that way.
Interaction between people is lower when there is an drop off option. so why not remove it? No drop off means people need to meet.
Motivation to share is when they download the application, they are willing to know their neighbours hence they will share. ( i won’t download apps that i don’t use right)
Interesting idea, willing to try
How to pay money? Cash? Card? Credit?
Is great because at least i get to know who are my neighbours although i might not know them well.

Event Launch (campaign)
– To aid neighbours to download and use the app
– Introduce the chief head of the block
Booth, Banner @void deck

23 Feb Consultation
How to have a higher chance of success in Meeting?
Name need to be change
Promote Apps as a meet up application? Push to meet up
More details for interaction eg. indicate who have deal with who before, rating etc
Real case of sharing e.g. Clementi and Tampines to be included in presentation. As well as character introduction.
Reference to CraigList
Report to include XD prototyping

Sharing is a good idea but there is still a lack of communication between neighbour when neighbours use the apps and hook.
Relook into how to increase the interaction between neighbours?
People selling instead of using hook?
Presentation skills need to improve. Presentation is misleading people that i am designing hook when hook is just a additional items.
Why not just leave shared item outside house when unable to meet?
How can the neighbour meet more directly?

Ideas for Final presentation
Present background research of concept – Animated video, Website
Present Concept using apps – Adobe XD
Show video of users using apps and interaction – Video recording

A Campaign design to distribute Bag with hook to neighbourhood.

Concept (Apps)
1. Search by Category
– Custom Setting of blocks that u want to search from
– Filter by area zone that was set

2. Search by clicking Block on map. Green = There is sharing items
– Preset Your block
– Filter by category

3. Search by all listing of Category
– Preview location of items
– Search by listing items nearer to your block
– Able to search only by your block by clicking ‘My Block’

Concept (Hook)

Mimic Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Hook that can be retractable when not in use.

Hook that have certain security to it.
eg. Easy to put in, slightly difficult to remove.

Keep concept open. Can add in more element if it can help enhance the concept.
Hook = Trust in neighbour. There is only a small amount of bad people.
Name the hook by among style, can include some fun fact.

Comment By Friends
Voice of video can replace with a more local voice.
Concept look similar to carousel? but more narrow down?
Understand concept well

Comment:
Think of more Name for concept.
Human Can use be more asian looking
Localize
Video can be back up with some evidence of real event
Generate more concept of how the apps work. Make it simpler and easier to use.

Concept Development: Instead of building a kiosk, going for a softer approach. Building hock for people to leave their sharing items at instead of creating a kiosk so to encourage them to meet but under unforeseen situation, they can still leave their sharing item at the hock.

Hock is design to be alike kampong houses.

Phone Apps is also used to allow users to share at their own conveience.
They can share Meals, Ingredient, Fruits and any other items.

(APPS IMAGE)

To start promoting the Apps and sharing, i also want to created a campaign to allow people to know of this Sharing. Campaign include, Poster, Mailer and a recyclable bag(can be use for K.share).

Article and Video that i came across
http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/my-turf-filling-a-void-deck-with-neighbourliness

Comment
Show how a bag is hock onto the hock
Hock is an simple idea, why make it complicated by having such abstract design.
More way to hock and who is it for.
Motivation for people to share, how to convince  people to share? Who is uncharge of this sharing.

Consider what the residents needs and what they want.
How is it implement?
Having apps, storyboard, video might help to present idea concept better.

Comment From Presentation
Concept 1
Explode how to make a softer look. (maybe a small locker/ hock)
Kiosk might not need a display screen, as user can just use their phone.
Concept is to design to allow people to interact, but designing an apps might revert people from interacting as people might tend to use the apps and collect from kiosk hence not meeting neighbours.
Is there another way to allow people to meet? Help collect package?

Concept 2
Can show Everything store in shelf vs everything out of shelf.

Concept 3
Not really related to concept
Noise creation
A monthly event so might not be the a solution

Conclusion from Hall testing

1 week – 2 People sharing but no people buying.
Comment from those who share: Good idea to share, they like it.

Concept 1
Apps & Kiosk design
User share via apps & place item @ kiosk to deal/ place food @kiosk to share

Concept 2
Void deck space
User can convert furniture into multi use

Reason to go?
Reason to stay?
Safe & comfortable?
Welcoming & accessible?

Toys, board game can be donated by residences.

Comment After Consultation 
Issue of hall, might also happen in HDB. How do they get the knowledge to share?
Eg.Yishun people sharing food nowadays, but how do people know about it.
Can consider doing a community alike programs like – Repair kopitiam, Basecamp cafe.
The use of void deck as a space for online programs might be possible too.
Concept 2 must be more elaborate. is it community base? Overall layout use 2D
Provide more than 3 design concept.

Book : Design, when everyone design.
