Google maps and "street view" give users a multiview experience and provides a well orientated interface.
Project two requires a design for a navigation interface. Having little experience with GPS or mapping applications I have had no outstanding first thoughts or inspiration. So I have gone back to basics and considered the process in which i would go through in order to reach a location I have never been before. I would first google search the adress or name of the building/location then use google maps "directions" function to find the fastest way to the given address. If the adress is central, with a lot of buildings i would use "street" view to give more of a visual aid to this process. I have found this works almost always when I need to find my way around. I would like to find a way of combining these two methods of navigation. However there has been no interface to my knowledge of allowing the user to navigate in a live feed through a building. I would like to exploit this untapped corner of the market for this project and create a user friendly first person live interface for navigating through the Te Aro campus.
