International Journal of Information Studies Mariam Kafood, Muneera Saleh, Maryam Darwish, Abdelkarim Erradi 3 2 2000 https://www.dline.info/ijis/fulltext/v3n2/ijisv3n2_3.pdf Designing and developing an interactive and extendable Campus Map for self-guided tour of Qatar University (QU) and for pedestrian navigation of the campus using a mobile device is investigated in this paper. The system allows the user to orient themselves spatially with awareness of nearby campus landmarks. This in turn gives users reassurance that they are indeed located where they think they are. The prototype is developed for Qatar University campus but it is designed and built in such a way that can be easily extended to accommodate other maps such as those found in parks and other campuses. The purpose of the system is to allow QU community and prospective students and visitors to use their mobile phone to get an informative and entertaining campus visit as well as an intuitive way to access university resources. The system provides an electronic alternative to the printed campus map augmented with location-aware multimedia content delivered on GPS/WiFi-enabled mobile phones. This format allows for frequent updates of relevant information (such as upcoming events) to be communicated to the university community in an entertaining and timely manner. This paper presents an overview of the system components and a number of engineering challenges and solutions.
