CampuSeek - An Android-Based Campus Navigator of Tarlac State University
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, technology is evolving in such speed and enhancing the way people lives. Different systems and applications are developed to meet the need and requirements of people. Google’s Android is one of the latest and unique innovations, which instantly has taken over the mobile market. It is an open source mobile platform which allows developers and programmers around the world to develop applications for Android supported mobile devices.
PROJECT CONTEXT
New students or visitors of Tarlac State University (TSU) are having a hard time looking for a room or facilities, since these are dispersed in the three Campuses, the Main Campus, Lucinda Campus and San Isidro Campus. Each campus has different colleges and every college has buildings which has many floors and rooms that makes a student more confused to find their destination. In searching for such rooms in a University, wasting of energy and time is expected.
Being unfamiliar in the campus, a student or visitor might ask questions about where their destination is, and sometimes they are shy to ask which causes them to be late or absent to their activities. Tarlac State University has vicinity map board located at the entrance of the campus, but this thing is not enough to provide sufficient information about the map of TSU. Using this vicinity map board, a lot of time consumed and sometimes some information are not sufficient to guide people to their supposed destination.
The researchers intend to develop the proposed application using Android platform, because it is free and increasingly being used by many people.
The researchers intend to use the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology to develop the proposed system.
PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The purpose of this project is to provide an Android – based vicinity map of Tarlac State University for students and visitors.
This proposed project entitled “CampuSeek – an E-Tour android application” intends to
