ArchaeoloGPS i WalkingTour: Projecte Android

Abstract

This project is based on a guide system for cultural contents and more specifically, on the world of archeology. To achieve the objectives of this project, it’s necessary to develop a virtual guide system that allows the visualization of pictures, video, and the reproduction of audio and text in key points of the visit. Therefore, a mobile app will be designed, with the intention of it allowing to perform all of these tasks on an open environment of an archaeological excavation using the GPS of mobile devices. To get the route where the user will be guided, it will be necessary to create a supplementary app where the routes and key points will be acquired for the visit. ArchaeoloGPS and WalkingTour are two apps that in the beginning were meant to be used on a real environment, more specifically on Pol·lèntia excavation. The project was created under the request of the Facultat d’ Història de la Universitat de Barcelona. Due to time issues from the responsible that couldn't provide enough information and instructions of the specific needs, both apps were developed generically to complete the main goals of the project.
