Individual Pitches
Elizabeth Bahlinger (Media Finder)
While watching television, many people find themselves wondering where they
recognize the actor on screen from, what the plot of a movie is, or just wonder what the title of
the movie playing is. My smartphone application will allow users to record the sound of a small
part of a movie or television show and pull up all of the information dealing with the movie or
TV show. The information that will be brought up will be the title, actors, story line, reviews,
soundtracks and other similar features. This application will be similar to the Shazam app but
instead of determining a song it will determine the movie or television show.
The audience for this application is very broad. A person that watches television or
movies would benefit from this app. The application will be very straightforward and easy to use
so it will be easily accessible for all ages. The application will be available for all smart phones
so users will be able to use it wherever they are. The website Internet Movie Database can also
give users the same information on the movie or television show but requires more work. The
application I have designed will make it easier for users to acquire the information.

Anthony Do (Hairstyle Designer)
Have you ever been tired of your hairstyle and wanted to try something new but were too
afraid of the sudden change? Well I propose an application that will take those worries away.
This application will provide a user the ability to take a picture of themself and try different
hairstyles of their liking. The users will have the option of picking from a realistic pre-set library
of hairstyles. Also, the users will have the option of cropping hairstyles from any picture, such
as a celebrity. Within the application, the user will have the ability to manipulate the orientation
of the hairstyles and change the physical properties.
This application will be available on all portable and mobile devices running an iOS,
Android or Microsoft operating system. The expected audiences are those that have ever wanted
a change in their current hair style; they will now be able to safely see themselves in a new
hairstyle without the worries of uncertain permanent change. This application could surely be
used within hair salons; instead of having outdated hairstyle books laying around, this
application could be installed on tablets for the customers to use. This application will have
many competitors on its platform’s market. What sets this application apart is that other similar
applications do not have realistic hairstyles for their end users. My proposed application will
give the end user a realistic representation of how they will look in a hairstyle to their liking.

Tommy Mai (Item Identifier)
Many times people have trouble recalling the name of a product, either a physical item of
some sort or food. When people cannot remember what it is called, they ponder to find the name.
What if there is an app or website where we can put in many description of what the item is and
the program searches for possible matches to the description? The app can be called “Item
Identifier (aka “II”),” this problem will allow users to enter as many descriptions as they like and
then use those inputs to search for matches. There will be classifications to go with the search
such as: food, household, office, etc to help narrow the search.
This would be a great app especially for people with memory problems who cannot
remember names of physical things. The targeted audiences are any people who tend to forget
the names of items and want to figure out what it is. There are internets site out there such as
Google that can help look up things, but it is does not have the capabilities like this app. With
cooperation and permission of Google, we can use it to help power and fulfill the app’s job.

Andrew Nelson (Mall Map Application)
Businessman and women travel all the time to many unfamiliar parts of the United States. Many
times they are forced to remain in a specific area for weeks at a time and getting around in any
unfamiliar city is a nightmare. One thing that I have noticed is that during the weekend many of
these people spend time at the local malls trying to guide themselves to the different shops but
have trouble understanding the maps. My idea is an application that would be used to help guide
these men and woman to different stores without hassle.
The idea that I had would simplify the process of spending time inside a mall. There is
already a set database of mall maps on the Internet but there is not any type of application for
download that you can view every mall map in one specified application. Not only would this
give the user the ability to pull up any mall map on their phone but it would give them the
opportunity to select a specific store and have the exact location show up on the map. This not
only gives the user a comprehensive experience but saves time, saving the user from looking for
a specific store.

William Wiesler (Video Enhancer App)
Ever since I’ve gotten a smartphone, I’ve been trying to utilize every bit of it I can to get
the best results from it. The one thing that I’ve noticed that is lacking in phones and tablets right
now is their usage on things such as movies and television shows, and other apps like Netflix and
Hulu. I believe I have come up with a solution to truly maximize our enjoyment of cinema and
film through a home theater application. This application should revolutionize the way we view
media on our portable electronics.
The purpose of this app is to give the view the perfect equalization of lighting, sound, and
quality. Much like televisions, there are certain viewing effects that you can use to adjust to get
the best quality view for whatever you’re watching. Also, sound is a very important factor,
especially when using the right EQ settings with whatever you’re watching. This application will
contain preset EQs for both lighting effects and sound effects, thus giving the customer easy
access to change settings to fit whatever they are viewing.
The target audience is all portable electronics users, because viewing media is more
common than not in today’s society. Our competitors will most likely be groups like Netflix,
YouTube, and Hulu, because they will be try to come up with their own applications that are
associated with each other. This is where our application will beat all these competitors – it will
become available to use on ALL video applications.
The best way to make this into a success is by dividing up the workload by separating
into groups that are designed specifically for one company each. Also, one group will be
assigned to establish the EQ settings that will be the presets to go into all the video applications.
Also, it will be up to another team to create the design of the application itself. We will want it to
run in the background of the device so that it doesn’t block what the customer is already viewing.
We also want to make it so that the app can be used to adjust settings easily and without harming
the data on the phone.

Sparks Inc.’s Final Decision
Have you ever been in a bind where you are completely lost in a shopping mall or a
parking lot, or just simply want to know the store’s information and what stores items are
trending? The application that Sparks Inc. would like to propose is an application that offers a
database of all shopping malls, within the United States. Within the application, users will be
able to select any shopping malls and see a full map of the mall’s layout, alongside with their
information and consumer comments. Information such as customer reviews and photos will
also be offered under each store’s profile that will be primarily submitted by users. Another
feature to our application will be the ability to save the location of where users park their car.
Our application will be able to assist any age range of consumers, from a consumer that is
unfamiliar with the shopping mall to one that simply wants to know what is currently trending.
Our group’s idea stemmed based on Andrew Nelson’s initial idea. The two primary
points that we wanted to hit are, providing convenience and to be user friendly. As we discussed
Andrew’s idea, each one of us had a common need, the accessibility of store information and
location. We all were aware that most shopping malls have their own proprietary application,
but to have a single application that has a database of all US shopping malls will provide ease
and convenience to the users, especially travelers. This application will be offered on all mobile
and portable devices that has an operating system of iOS, Android, or Windows.
