Concept 1
My first concept was inspired from video games, of course. I am a big fan of video games and online multiplayer games, and there were a few games that caught my interest. The one thing that would be awesome to see, was a real life map/radar straight on your phone, revealing your exact location. I got this idea from the Call of Duty games, and most gamers would definitely recognise it. As we can see from the the example below, the yellow triangle is the user/us. Let's just say the green triangles are other students as well and the red dots well, they could be random check-in stations (just an idea). This app will be workable on your iPhone or android or other devices, maybe it can be a device itself who knows. But as you're walking along, the yellow arrow moves with your exact location. Now that would be cool! So at the same time, it has kind of an in-game feature to it thats brought out to real life situations.
