Goals
The LOAMA project was born out of 3 goals:
- Allow people to manage SOLID permissions: Solid pods allow you to retain your data, but managing who can access that data hasn't been easy. LOAMA wants to make this easier by providing a user-friendly way to manage those permissions.
- Envision a privacy-focused way to request permission: Applications can use Solid pods, which allow users to bring and manage their own data, but how would an application request those permissions in a clear and privacy-first way?
- Make Solid and its benefits more clear: Solid allows for control of your data, but that control also brings a lot of complexity for users. LOAMA tries to make this more understandable by providing a revised Lexicon and creating an interface that is focused on ease of use.
Research
In order to understand our users and how they would interact with our project, we spent time defining our target audience and creating a fitting theme by taking inspiration from the Solid Project.
Deliverables
Thanks to research, we gained a steady foundation to create our application. These applications were created and developed with feedback from Imec and IDLab. From their feedback and the entire osoc team's, we designed and developed the following applications:
Future Prospects
This project was created in just 4 weeks, but in order to help future development for LOAMA, we provide an overview of the current limitations for the project.
Brought by IMEC & IDLab
This project was made possible by Imec and IDLab:
Imec is the world's leading independent nanoelectronics R&D hub. The combination of their talent, infrastructure, and partner network enables breakthroughs towards smaller, faster, more affordable, and more sustainable microchips.
IDLab is a collaboration between UGent and Imec and performs research on a wide range of topics, such as AI, IoT, Networking, Circuit design and more.
🚀 Powered by OSOC
This project was created during OSOC 2024, a yearly event where students are giving the opportunity to create a proof-of-concept for a cooperation. OSOC allows students to:
- Work on real projects and showcase their work
- Learn from industry experts thanks to several presentation, etc...
- Hone their skills and work within a group composed of different technological profiles, like developers, designers, innovation, etc...
