Week Seven

Much progress was made in week 7. Longitude and latitude coordinates were coded into the application to allow the Google map to show the selected building. Descriptions and phone numbers will also be displayed when the building is selected. Program bugs were also fixed. For example, the building information now updates seamlessly.

Another feature of the application that is currently being developed is the ability of the user to hold his or her finger on a building to make a menu display both floor plans and building information options.

Ways to evaluate our application were also discussed. These ideas include asking Drexel visitors or students to find a specific room and then pose specific questions to them. This way the answers will be confined to a certain scope, thus making them easier to analyze.

Graphics were also developed. Figure 1 shows the pin that will denote selected buildings. Figure 2 shows a screen shot of the application at its current stage. Figure 3 shows how floor plans will be modified to allow for easy viewing of rooms. Multiple floor plans have been completed in this way.
