Another concept I had come up with along side the 360º reconstruction idea was an concept that works with Google maps and acts as an alert system, alerting users in that area whenever a crime take place. Using the location tracker on your phone crimewatch can alert you when ever a crime takes place in your area. Crimewatch will work along side Google map to make this idea a reality.
Below is a quick sketch of this idea.
Here you can see how the interface would work. Different checkpoint markers will locate where the crime is or has happened as soon at Crimewatch is aware of the crime. You can either see the map through the Crimewatch crime watcher or through Google maps. The user would be able to click on a marker to expand the box and see more information about that specific crime.
This is what will appear when a crime has just happened. It will act as an alert pop up and will popup on your phone alerting you to where the crime has happened and other important information like numbers, live updates and tips on what to do if you happen to be in that area.
I think this idea can actually be really effective in alerting people if there is a crime in their area. However, when I compared this idea with the 360º reconstruction idea, this idea didn't seem as unique and I few people have mentioned to me that this idea may have already been done. If I want to win then I need to go outside the box and comfort zone and I don't feel as if this idea will give me that.
