Road to the Final Project!

Hello Everyone!

We all cannot believe how fast this winter quarter 2015 has gone. It is currently the last week for our class before we start finals week. Everyone on the team is hard at work finalizing the final project documentation and making sure that the whole application works to our expectations.

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH! Marlon was able to implement the message within the pin. Just like we explained in this wireframe:

 

So when the user types a message within at some point and time within the map, a pin will drop once the user creates the message and it will appear on top of the pin. Marlon was able to program that within our application. 

Here are the actual frames from our working application. 

This is our initial home screen where users will be able to type their message and use a 'TagName" or hashtag. They also must manually enter the Latitude and longitude of their exact location. 

So this is what we have so far implemented. We have about a week left before everything will be set in stone for us in time to present our final project. Due to time constraints on this quarter so far, we may or may not implement the camera view with the pins shown in the camera view in real time, but we were able to get the Geotagging within our application. 

Once everything is set in the coming week, we will put this project to be complete, and we will leave it to future classes who will take this project and develop it even further. 

Creating Our Project Demo

So we are in the process of creating our Project Demo that is due this week. Our teammates Marlon Garcia and Kurt Myles have developed more of the backend side of the project.

Some of the highlights we have on the project so far:

• They were able to make the application send data to the database table instead of manually entering that information in those certain fields within the database. 
• We have a working prototype in which the user can create an account through "MemoMap" and it will automatically save within the database 
• We also were considering on if we could implement the augmented reality side of the project because we wanted to have a camera view on the app that shows where the user has been and typed the message, but we are not sure if we could develop that in code. 

Here are some of the pictures that Marlon took as he developed the database side of the project.
