System Scope Analysis
1. Guide describes campus features(JMS, Cofrin, Main Hall) as the visitor approaches.
- Decide between text-to-speech and prerecorded descriptions of buildings
- Create a structure to house coords of all the places of interests on campus
- Reference the list with the current location and the direction that the tourist is pointing to determine what building the tourist is investigating
2. The Guide can speak but also has a visual mode.
- Must come up with a direction giving algorithm
- The direction giving feature will highlight the route
- Give auditorial cues to the user to push them along their path
3. A visitor can request to see a specific feature and the guide will "show" the way
- Create a feature that has a list of places of interest on campus
- User selects their place of interest
- Once selected the route will be given from the current location of the user
4. Investigate additional features
- Notify toursists when they enter leave smoking zones on campus
- Add the smoking zones as places of interest so that it will point the user to the closest smoking area
- Once finished with the general map and gps functions of the android brainstorm for additional features
5. Determine a visitor's location on the map
- Get an Android from Dr. Pankratz
- Dive into the GPS tracking capabilities of the Hardware i.e., how it works, where it stores the coords
- Plug in coords from the phone into the app to display the tourist's current location
6. Use layers to augment reality
- Start with a general "road map" of SNC minus buildings and such
- Be sure that the user can navigate the roads while being tracked by the GPS
- Start adding places of interests to the map in batches
- Once the first locations are on the map flesh them out by adding the verbal descriptions of the building to the application
- Once the first batch of buildings are added with features fleshed out, start the remaining batches
