Under The Surface
Under the surface Situated documentary using Development Coding skills. To make this app we used XCODE in swift language. The app guide shows the functions we considered and used in our app. Our app took users on a ghost walk around bournemouth at 3 particular locations where subjects were found to talk about their paranormal experiences. We so far have 3 locations but hope to create more in the future.
Intentions for future plans or diagrams for our App- As our locations are quite away from each other, to improve the app we would create more of a user journey where they can be entertained traveling from one location to another during the ghost walk. This is due to the user may becoming disinterested if its a 10 minute drive or 30 minute walk away. For instance, we could add themed music throughout the background of the app so when user is driving they can be entertained yet meet health and safety regulations due to the no-phone law while driving. And for user walking we would of hoped to create a little quiz on the documentary they just watched on the subjects experiences and the location history. These improvements could allow us to collect data and analytics on our users which could tell us more about who we are appealing to.
