We in the group have after our first interview session narrowed our potential application down. We have realised that when you are traveling with the boat you don't get any information about the buildings in near the water. After discussing different approaches about how we could display that information in a non intrusive way we found that it might be best to use some sort of augmented reality. After research we can find applications similar to ours such as the Flightradar24 app for mobiles. Where you can point your mobile phone up to the sky to see nearby aircrafts. We could use a similar method to give boat travelers information about surrounding buildings.
By using the gps, compass and the gyroscope we should be able to figuring out where the user are and what the phone is pointed at. And then by using the camera we could have an overlaying interface showing different points of interest. And might be able to further improve our detection with different kinds of image recognition technology.
The different points of interest can be mapped to specific coordinates and we could also calculate how long from the poi we are.
We have also discussed displaying different kinds of boatrealted information such as current speed and water temperature. The current speed we could be able to calculate from the data given to us by the gps and compass and the water temperature we might be able to get from stockholm vatten but i'm not sure. When trying to search for temperature Saltsjön the result shows 5 degrees celsius but i'm not sure that is the actual temperature of the water.
