“Eshtery Badawy”/ “Buy Badawy” / “Buy Bedouin” is a project made by Computer Engineering students of Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University in August, 2017 during the Hilali Summer School in Human-Computer Interaction in Scientific Research and Technology Applications City (SRTA-City) in collaboration with Kingston University London contributing in research of using HCI in documenting ICH under the supervision of:
- Dr. Shaimaa Lazem, PhD Researcher at City for Scientific Research and Technological applications (SRTA-City), Egypt.
- Dr. Danilo Giglitto, PhD Research Associate at Kingston University London. PhD in Sociology. Conceptual Design: The main idea of the app. is to be the chain link between a Bedouin seller and any buyer. It acts as an online Bedouin market. It aims to: • Refresh the Bedouin industry. • Preserve the Bedouin’s Hand Crafts. • Offer jobs. • Reviving the Bedouin culture’s icon. • Documenting the culture in the process. • Encourage Bedouins to fancy the idea of sharing. • Offers means to earn living. It targets: • Sellers: Bedouins + Corporates. • Buyers: From both inside or outside the Bedouin Community. The flow: • The seller offers his product for sale at a reasonable price. • Buyer searches for the required product and sees the seller’s product in the suitable category. • The buyer is provided with detailed description for the productand is able to contact the seller through the given contact information.
In the internship, only a design and prototype was required. Our team has been working on making the project a reality ever since. Link on store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=alexu.csed.user.eshtri_first_pafge
