Portal is a system that makes use of empty wall space in select stations by fitting them with digital monitors that allow riders waiting for their train to interact with riders at other stations. The system will determine what interactions riders can have based on their remaining wait times. Users will experience low, medium, and high involvement games so that a riders will be entertained for the entirety of their wait. Riders can compete to be the best on the scoreboards and earn individual prizes, and the stations with the best players can win daily prizes.

WHERE DO YOU CURRENTLY LIVE, AND WHAT IS YOUR LIVING SITUATION? I live just north of Boston Common, walking distance from both Park Street (Red/Green) and Government Center (Green/Blue). I currently live with a friend who graduated from college with me. We both found jobs in the tech industry and decided to live together to reduce costs... this city is quite expensive. WHERE DO YOU WORK? AND WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO WHEN YOURE NOT WORKING? I work at a startup in Kendall Square. I was originally looking for a place to live in that area, but the general location did not justify the cost of living there. I decided to live near Park Street since the commute isnt too long. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SPENDING HABITS? I would consider myself relatively frugal. Im trying to save money so that I can eventually live in a single-bedroom place or a studio, but I dont mind spending a few extra bucks when the new iPhone comes out. Currently, only the mobile development team in our office gets their new iPhones expensed. HOW MUCH OF A ROLE DOES TECHNOLOGY PLAY IN YOUR LIFE? A huge one. As an engineer, I work with it for a living, but I’m always using it in varying ca- pacities every day, like when I’m looking at my phone for reviews of a nearby restaurant, or when I play video games on my XBOX on a Sunday morning. ANY FINANCIAL GOALS IN MIND? My priority at the moment is to save enough for a single bedroom or studio apartment, and maybe a car for those days in which it’s not a good idea to ride public transit. Driving in Bos- ton is a nightmare though, so I’ll use it mainly for road trips or groceries.

AGE: 19 STUDENT

WHERE DO YOU CURRENTLY LIVE, AND WHAT IS YOUR LIVING SITUATION? We currently live on Tufts Campus. Next year we plan on finding a place to live in between Tufts and Davis Square WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO ON YOUR FREE TIME? A couple of our friends from our high school are scattered around BU and Harvard, so we usually meet up around Harvard Square, Davis Square, Kenmore, or Park Street. Some- times we give JP a visit as well. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SPENDING HABITS? Right now I try to keep spending low. Im currently on a meal plan, so I try to take advantage of that as much as possible. I try to only do things that I can do on the cheap. HOW MUCH OF A ROLE DOES TECHNOLOGY PLAY IN YOUR LIFE? It plays a MASSIVE role. Its pretty much how I keep in contact with all my friends. We use Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat etc etc ANY FINANCIAL GOALS IN MIND? Im studying business right now, so hopefully It can transition to a good career. I was one of the few lucky students to land an internship at a consulting firm for this summer, so I plan to learn a lot there.

NFC

N E A R F I E L D C O M M U N I C A T I O N

We will be using NFC as a way to represent the RFID tags on Charlie cards. It will be easier to develop for nfc since there is a larger community

• f developers working on it.

NFC readers are also cheaper.

PROCESSING

J AVA - B A S E D P R O G R A M M I N G L A N G U A G E

PROCESSING is a JAVA-based programming language to make quick and easy visual art. We will be using this to create

• ur games because there is an
• pen source community on it,

and it does what we need for demonstrative purposes.

ARDUINO

O P E N - S O U R C E E L E C T R O N I C P R O T O T Y P I N G P L A T F O R M

An ARDUINO board will be used as the input for our game controllers.

BASIC WEB STACK

L A M P ( S O F T WA R E B U N D L E )

We will be needing a server that will store all of the high scores and store user profiles. The interface for selecting games will also be web-based, which will select what JAVA game to open. We will use the node.js framework for the back-end.
