Week 6- Advanced Hardware

I do not think this APP would need to use advanced hardware. It is not necessary to include too many sounds or pictures. The point of this APP is to be efficient and save time and by adding unnecessary things such as sounds, students can become distracted or bothered.
However, there are some possibilities to include advanced hardware. One being a sound to indicate to the student that their order has been sent; this would be very discreet so it does not alarm people around them. Another way a sound would be useful would be in the dining hall to notify the servers when an order has been placed.
Pictures should not be used because it will be important for the pictures to be accurate to the actual food and that may be hard to produce on a small cellphone. Since there is no way to transmit smells to people via computers, we cannot do that. Although, it would be a great marketing technique to help sell items!
