Project Objective
Please provide a statement of what you researched, analyzed, or created, not to exceed 50 words. The project objective submitted with your application will be printed in the Showcase program and cannot be amended after the February 20 deadline.
iTour provides an interactive experience combining an individual’s personal gps device and a technological sightseeing tour through a city. While taking the user to different places around the city using gps, iTour will provide additional media, pictures and video, giving the user full knowledge of the specific locations. In order for the user to continue through locations, they must answer questions about the current location making iTour an interactive scavenger hunt.
Project Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement
This statement, not to exceed 300 words, is the center of your application and should, therefore, use language that can be understood by both someone knowledgeable in the field and also by a reasonably informed non-specialist. It should explain what you investigated or created, the methods you used, and your results, conclusions, or predictions. You should also describe in the statement what contributions to the discipline or to society your project might make, or why you consider the project worth doing.
The goal of iTour is to create interactivity with the city of Cocoa Beach through the use of a personal data device. With our project, we hope to increase additional tourism within a city through the use of the application. iTour will include a scavenger hunt that requires them to answer questions about certain locations. Upon arriving at a locale, the application will supply additional media and historical facts. In order for the user to get directions to the next location, the user must answer a number of questions that can be answered by viewing certain objects/areas in the proximity of their current location. As they proceed through, facts and historical data from current and past time periods will be presented with pictures, video and literature. iTour will integrate education and gaming. Our group collected historical information from Cocoa Beach and will incorporate it into a trivia based game. While iTour is in its pilot stage of research, our end result will be a new, fun and interactive way of learning about a historical site. In the future, iTour will become an application that can give anyone the ease to visit a place, independently of commercial tourism with the addition of interactive game play.
