Inspiration
I was inspired by something called Ground News, which is a news site which states how bi-partisan news stories are.
What it does
My platform has two different features depending on if it is opened or closed. when it is closed and you only have one screen, you can see a globe and also the top stories that are happening in given parts of the world. You can click on a map to see what stories are happening there, or you can click on the individual stories to see a heatmap of where they are happening.
When it is open, you can see the top stories on republican news sources on the right side, and the top news stories from democratic sources on the left side. clicking on one story shows you where the equivelent story is on the other side.
How we built it
I built it through the BitRig interface.
Challenges we ran into
Bitrig was not able to see the open phone screen for a while. The main challenge was developing the idea and incoporating the different elements for the story. All of the news articles will be accessed through GDELT, which is a resource that publishes many news stories.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am proud of the idea and the fact that it works so well on iphone Duo screens.
What we learned
I learned i want this new Iphone.
What's next for BlindSpot
I want to integrate more complete controls of a lot of different things.
