Idea

Extracting information about restaurant menus for restaurants at LUT.

Sodexo menus can be extracted by using JSON.

Aalef restaurant menus are just HTML and that's why we are mainly focusing on Sodexo restaurants.

Providing list of restaurants that are currently open.

Showing webcam images for Sodexo restaurant at main building and the restaurant at Student union house

Context awareness: at least time (what restaurants are open), possibly preferences (what restaurants are shown on Windows Phone Start page).

Motivation

User Interface examples

Main Page

Main Page of the application.

The main page of the application. There are four clickable buttons for restaurants and an application bar for “eat” funcionality (represented by a circle because proper icon hasn't been drawn yet) and “settings” (the button currently doesn't do anything).
