IDE 50th Anniversary Tour App with Proximity Beacons

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the IDE faculty, we set out to create an android app that shows notifications when you walk past a point of interest using bluetooth beacons.

Design

The app was designed to encourage free exploration of the faculty without a set route. The user would be invited to download the app at the entrance and turn on bluetooth. As they walked by the beacons, they would walk past certain points of interest in the faculty, they would receive a notification that could be expanded to read the first paragraph. When clicked, the article about that point of interest.

This was my first android studio project and it taught me a lot about the system, as well as using hardware tech to improve software and make the digital and physical world feel more connected.
