Lantern: Empowering Refugees Through Community-Generated Guidance Using Near Field Communication |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
When refugees enter their new host countries, they are faced with a variety of challenges and often find themselves relying on others for help. Equipped with only basic technologies, refugees must utilize the little they have to navigate their new environments. Currently, there are no digital systems in place that ease the transition for newly arriving refugees into the USA. In response to this, we have developed Lantern, a cost-efficient mobile service that combines previous generation technology with modern, near field communication capabilities, enabling refugees to learn and navigate within their new surroundings. |
