Design changes

During the evaluation, the main critique of our design was the overambitious attempt to solve all the problems a tourist might encounter. The design was not sufficiently aimed towards solving the main problems, navigation and ticket purchases. A design solution aimed on providing help with finding restaurants, shops and accommodations only seemed to raise the complexity of the application, while not solving any of the main problems. One important point made during the evaluation was that the design treated an area too big. We should have focused more on our designated route, and not on the entirety of Stockholm. It seems that these issues stem from the brainstorming sessions. The conceptual designs derived surely satisfied all of the established requirements, but they did this in a way too broad manner. The goal with the following design changes is to more accurately solve the specific issues we've documented the tourists having.

Based on the critique we received, we have decided on some changes in the design, both conceptual and concrete. Firstly, the area treated in the design has now been restricted to Djurgården. The design will provide information regarding transportation, food and tourism attractions inside this area. We kept these categories in the design due to the obvious issues tourists had with reaching their destination, be it the Vasa Museum or the ferry terminal. This was also an argument for keeping the camera function, since it provides useful information about one's surroundings. The GPS-function has been limited. It now only provides guidance to the area we've limited the app to. Djurgården and the two ferry terminals. Receiving information about shops and accommodations was not a main concern for tourists, therefore we have removed these categories.
