TraffickCam

TraffickCam is an app that allows users to photograph hotel rooms to better identify trafficking victims.

From TraffickCam’s posting on the Android Playstore:

TraffickCam enables you to help combat sex trafficking by uploading photos of the hotel rooms you stay in when you travel.

Traffickers regularly post photographs of their victims posed in hotel rooms for online advertisements. These photographs are evidence that can be used to find and prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes. In order to use these photos, however, investigators must be able to determine where the photos were taken.

The purpose of TraffickCam is to create a database of hotel room images that an investigator can efficiently search, in order to find other images that were taken in the same location as an image that is part of an investigation.

I saw the app one night and I thought I could easily take most of the existing UI (which looks like it had been done for a much older version of Android) and update it a little to make it more visually interesting.

This was definitely a quick project, but overall I was happy with the result. And if anyone sees this you’re more than welcome to do with it as you wish!
