DAT302 – Final Project

After chatting with Gianni, he reminded us that we needed to think of a problem first, and then come up with a solution after. Taking this on, we came up with some problems that we could use, while still keeping in the theme of QR and barcodes.
Here are our notes from our brainstorm:

Problems to solve & answers with project:

1. Some products travel too far across the world to arrive in shops, causing more CO2 to pollute the atmosphere.
   1. Show how far products have travelled
   2. Show alternative, more local product
   3. CO2 saved
