The idea of my navigation interface is that
it functions as a phone app that uses the smartphone’s camera as a medium to
view the directions that lead the user to their destinations. This allows the
viewer to get accurate information from exactly where they stand, and it is an
alternative to complicated and misleading maps with outdated information.
What
makes this app unique is that it is a pedometer and navigator in one, so the
app can calculate how much calories the user has burned off based on how long
and how far the user travelled. The user will be timed and has the ability to
pause and resume the stopwatch.
Another function the user can make use of, is
the pedometer mode, where if the user wont need to use the navigator, they can
simply use the pedometer mode to calculate how much calories they have burned
off.
Extra functions include; search tool, where if
the user is unfamiliar with the area, they can search (for example, nearest
café) and it will list some possible options. Address book where you can save
and look up previous locations already searched, a journal to track how much
calories you’ve burned in total with using the app, music player to motivate
the user to further enjoy their navigating experience. The music player just
sends you to your music player on your phone, but then resumes back to the app.
Also, the users have the option to take a snapshot of anything they see that
they like whilst the camera is activated and the arrows wont show up on the
picture.
