Lost item project is a project (that I implemented with my teammate Onur Can Avcı) shows lost items to Bogazici Members in same network. Found items are broadcasted via UDP with periodic synchronization packets. Synchronization happens in every 30 seconds.
- Hard to find lost items in BOUN Campuses
- So many item holders (dorms, securities etc.)
- Students should access where their lost item is held.
- Found items and delivered items should be recorded i.e. legal purposes.
