Hocc, share information through gestures

Since there are electronic mobile devices have sought ways to share information between them, someone's sure to remember where to get equipment alineábamos communication via infrared, or more recently the common and Bluetooth. But the solution that presents Hocc is quite original, although the medium you use is not so much.

In fact Hocc is an application that allows us to transfer information between two or more devices through the Internet, so that the elements involved should be connected, they also need a GPS receiver with which to determine the status of them.

A third condition is that we choose the role of each of the devices , a sender and one or more receivers, but this is done dynamically according to the gesture that we will achieve, for example sending we perform a horizontal movement, and to receive one horizontal.

The idea seems fun , and although it seems the system is quite complex dynamics as we have had occasion to describe to you in the news, we must also take into account that our data will pass through Hocc servers. The page is not referring to the security levels of transfers, of course there will be some type of encryption, but the truth is I do not inspire confidence for use with important information.

In fact have no control over all those around you and wants to receive the information, any device that has the application and make the gesture of reception can be done with it. Despite the issue of security, I think the property with more potential for the application, to share information with a group of people around us, if they wish.

The application is available for Android devices and iPhone, and if I sounded something was one of the awards in the last Android Developer Challenge, more specifically in the section on tools and productivity.
