As one of the deliverables for this term, I have created a mockup of our mobile application. The application is very exciting and will use the user's GPS location to provide them with interesting information near them. It will include pinpoints that you can click on to get more information, which could be archaeological information or facts pulled from the historical records we will be referencing. It could tell the user that they are standing in what used to be a canal. Going even further, we will be using an augmented reality software to allow the user to overlay old images of the city with the view from the camera on their phone. The application is a very exciting aspect of our project and we can't wait to continue working on it in Venice!
