University of Strathclyde CS408 Individual Project 2020/21
Finding university rooms can be tricky. They may be numbered but this doesn’t really tell you where they are. A second problem is finding the optimal route from one part of the campus to another which may involve cutting through buildings. A third problem is that the route might vary according to the weather – for instance in wet weather you may wish to stay undercover for as much of the route as possible, even if it takes a few minutes longer. This app-based solution aims to support students with navigating their way around the University of Strathclyde campus, making sure to address the above identified issues associated with campus navigation.
