IDAT210 - Development Part 2

I recently came across a major flaw in my project. As i was designing the application i found that a major problem with the program.

If you need to find your friend in a big crowd, a GPS location of them is not really going to help so i needed to develop something that will actually show the friend.


So i came up with a new feature for the program. You will be now be able to load up the camera on the mobile application, scan the area that your standing in. Then the camera will display the location of the friend your trying to find.

This sytem is called augmented reality, developing something on top of current reality.



The image above was an early version of the augmented reality feature, however i felt that it was neccessary to include some on-screen prompts that will show the exact distance and location of the friend.
