Oh dear, its not going well this term in idat204, first I couldn't think of any ideas, then my idea was rubbish, then my idea which was good gets ruined by the schools of Plymouth, then my idea (I have now decided) got rubbish again.
So its time to pack that Augmented Reality game up and start again, I still have a month which is more than enough because I've dreamt up a fantastic idea which I'm hoping isn't already a (Augmented) reality! ( Horr horr horr )
I have decided to change to a mobile application, I feel this will give me a much broader scope for my idea as there is a lot of development in that area at the moment. I feel the application would run on smartphones such as iPhones, Blackberry's and Android's.
The application, called TransportUrself, is an Augmented Reality application used to find the nearest public transport links around you, the application uses the mobile phone’s camera, compass and GPS data to identify the user’s location and field of view, it then retrieves data based on those geographical coordinates, and overlay the data of the public transport locations over the camera view.
TransportUrself will tell the user the location of bus stops, train stations, airports, taxi ranks, trams and the London Underground, and will get its data from the website www.traveline.org.uk and other sources such as tfl.org
When the user presses an onscreen icon they can find out further info such as the bus/train timetable, next due bus, other taxi phone numbers, etc.
I am looking into how feasible this app would be, I doubt I could get a fully functioning model ready for class but possibly some elements available to show.
