Implemented Features of Prototype

NOTE: This prototype is currently filled with a large amount of placeholder information so do not be surprised if there is some lack in consistency or repetitive information

Currently in this prototype you can:

  1. Click submit on the checkin page and be navigated to the main menu page
  2. Enter a question in the question queue (the time values might be off because it is currently not implemented in real time)
  3. Swipe through graphs and click on FAQs
  4. Scroll through events (click on the arrows/buttons at the top to look at events listed for a few different days)
  5. Scroll through stories and click on the pictures of users to view their profiles
  6. You can navigate to the map page and look at a map (no interaction with the map has been implemented as of yet, e.g. GPS tracking)
  7. On the profiles of users you can look at their user information. Clicking on the "Schedule Meetup" button will bring a popup form, where you can also cancel the form (submitting does nothing currently)
  8. The home button and the back button on the top of the pages you can navigate to from the main menu currently work (so clicking back will bring you to the previously visited page, clicking home will bring you to the home page)

Please assume that everything else in this prototype is static or placeholder information and not implemented as of yet. Please let us know if you have any problems with trying to do the above implemented features!

    Wiki presentation: - Good clear and detailed coverage of the features of the prototype.

    Fidelity: - This implementation really covers the scenarios very well. Great work!
    '- It's extremely high-fidelity in look, and functionality as well.
    '- It is very breadth-wise complete, having all the page links covered, even if they are linked to static pages, they still give the sense of a very well implemented prototype.
    '- I think you get a very clear sense of what the application is about just from this prototype. Well done!

    Usability: - The tour guides name should probably be a color other than  green. I know that the themes color is green, but it does look a little strange to have both the tour guide and the time in the same font typeface, font-size and font-color. Maybe you could also move the timing slightly lower so that it doesn't wrap across two lines.

    Overall: Handed in late without prior approval from lecturers. This prototype is really, really well done! So please ensure that you don't miss the deadline in the future to avoid having unncessary points penalized! Otherwise, this is looking really good!
