  1. Campus Sherpa Ryan DeMaeyer Drew Stephenson

  2. The Problem Problem initially from A Building on GGC campus The A Building is a labyrinth of hallways with no clear room naming convention Impossible to navigate especially for someone new to the building

  3. Solution Design an application for smartphones that allows people to easily navigate the building Entering in a room number or scanning a qwerty code sets your position Typing in the destination room allows the app to give you directions in 3 different ways: Map, Direction List, and Augmented Reality

  4. The Prototype Built using Flash Graphics made in Expression Design and Photoshop Application designed to run on a smart phone but testing was done on a laptop

  5. STaRS Poster

  6. Screen Shot: Current Position

  7. Screen Shot: Destination

  8. Screen Shot: Directions

  9. Tasks Subjects were asked to get directions using rooms numbers and using the qwerty function Qwerty function was automatic no actual picture was taken Once the directions were reached the subject was asked to iterate through the direction types

  10. Data Collection Subjects completed a pre-survey and post survey Pre-survey collected demographic information, smart phone experience, and navigation experience Post-survey collected data on ease of use, effectiveness, interface intuition, and additional comments and suggestions Subjects were observed during use

  11. Results 10 subjects total- mix of students, staff, and faculty All users found the interface easy to use and navigate All users said that it would help them navigate the A building All suggested that it would help more for freshman and new faculty/staff Most preferred the augmented view, a few preferred the map view Some found the direction list view to be confusing

  12. The future and BEYOND! Since most favored the augmented view- focus on accomplishing that functionality Keep the map view/scrap direction list Expansion to entire GGC campus/other college campuses Future testing- testing with a smart phone, qwerty function, actual navigation through the building

  13. Lessons Learned
