Study of a user-centered design approached to developing a local positioning system for smartphones
Abstract
Our application will help users in finding their way around different places inside BRAC
University. The user will input the destination and the application will help to find a path from the user’s current location. Our application will work for android base smartphones. The target user for this application could be any student of BRAC University, or a visitor who is not familiar with the place. Other Local Positioning System (LPS) applications for smartphones are currently available, but our target is to follow a user-centered interaction design process. Our aim with the end product is to create a system which is accessible to users of all backgrounds. Each stage of the development will be guided by qualitative and quantitative user evaluations/feedback.
