Launch App
(Home Screen)

a

This is the entry point of the application, and is the first screen that the user faces when it is first launched. This is termed the Home Screen.

At the top of the screen is an Action Bar, and this is persistent across all views in the application. It provides navigational access to other views and application functions via the icons which are present. Beginning from the left, we have the Friends icon, the Events icon and the Notifications icon. We will outline each of their usage in the following task and sketches. The Home Screen comprises of 2 main portions: the search bar at the top and the map view below.

Map View: By having this screen as a default screen, the user (Alice) is able to view a map view of the location, in this case it is the layout of MIT. Her position on the screen is indicated by a Pink dot, whilst those representing her friends' locations are Blue dots. Tapping on a friend's dot will reveal the friend's name.
Search Bar: The search bar allows for Alice to easily find a user's location on the map by entering his or her name. The view camera will pan over and center about the specified friend. Alice may easily pan the view camera back to her location by tapping the Locate button location on the right of the search box.
