⌚ Course project for Mobile GIS & LBS
A new start-up company asks you to develop a location-based fitness app based on Android. The fitness app aims at encouraging the users to get out of their home and do a round trip running or walking near their home.
The major functions implemented include:
- directing and giving instructions to the destination by a compass,
- recording users' trajectories and uploading to ArcGIS Server once the trip is finished,
- calculating rewards of the trip according to speed, distance and other factors, and
- creating an AR scene where users can locate their rewards around them and storing rewards as spatial anchors.
👉 The app should read a list of possible checkpoints from the file system
👉 After starting the app, a user can select one checkpoint from a drop-down that they want to go to
👉 A basic compass screen shows the direction and distance to the checkpoint’s position (like on a radar)
- Compass directs to the position of checkpoint
👉 Show the current speed of the user and the temperature
👉 When the user reaches the checkpoint, the app should notify the user with either text or audio.
👉 To make the trip a complete round trip, the compass should then point towards the starting location again.
👉 Once the user completed the round trip (i.e., arrive the starting location), the app should again notify the user, provide a reward, and save the data to a CSV file.
Users need an ArcGIS API key to upload their records to ArcGIS server.
👉 Social sharing option: users can share their latest record as a simple text.
- Users can share by click the share button in the main activity.
- When users click back button to quit the app, a dialog will pop up to ask for sharing.
👉 Track upload: When a trip is finished, a dialog pops up to ask for uploading records to ArcGIS server. Users can click SHARE to view the trajectory and checkpoint, and upload the records.
👉 Track review: Users can view all tracks by clicking the map button in the main activity.
- Users can select from the spinner to show records of a certain user
- Users can tap a trajectory to look through the attributes of the trajectory.
Users need to download Google Play Services for AR, and have an Azure account to upload spatial anchors.
👉 Locating rewards: users can find the rewards they got in the past trips, and place the rewards in an AR scene. Finally the placed rewards are uploaded as Azure spatial anchors.
👉 Placing rewards: users can re-establish all previously stored rewards (i.e., spatial anchors) in the AR scene.
👉 Cleaning rewards: users can delete all located rewards and relocate them.
