Inspiration

As technology enthusiasts, we were inspired by the interconnectivity of 5G and the challenging times of the pandemic.

We came up with Up&G as an answer to the cancelled entertainment events of 2020 and a solution for people who miss the fun atmosphere.

What it does

With the help of 5G technology, Up&G is able to connect local entertainment points with hotel chains or individuals.

Live streams from local entertainment events (concerts, theaters, philharmonics, stand-up comedy shows) will be available in the app and enjoyed by users at their own comfort with the help of 5G devices, which will intuitively adapt the light and the sound to the events atmosphere.

By creating a personal account, users will be recommended events based on their cloud data, preference questions and events that already have been liked and watched.

Notifications are also part of our app, letting the person know when their favorite artist makes an appearance or similar shows are taking place.

Our clients will be able to make in-app purchases in order to have access to live streams via digital fingerprint.

Withal, Up&G represents a marketing platform for brands that want to promote their event in the local area.

How we built it

Our project is still at the concept stage, but we've put together a demo website: https://sites.google.com/view/up-g-submission

Challenges we ran into

Shaping the idea represented one of the challenges that we’ve ran into.

As 12th grade students, we had to do some research in order to get a better understanding on the technologies that our app uses.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

In a short period of time we’ve learnt a lot about the topic of this hackathon and came up with an idea that will benefit tourism in the future.

What we learned

5G technology was not a foreign topic to us, but we believe that getting a better understanding of the subject benefited our knowledge a lot. Even so, the most important thing we learned from this experience is teamwork and how valuable it is.
