Challenges and Uncertainties

1.Multiplatform Devices

4. Participation from Outsourcers

• Mountain Line provide information for Bus Tracker

• Web Services provide trademarked information

Expected Outcomes

• iOS 6 and Android 4.1 Compatible

• Open Source Code

• Useful function implemented to benefit WVU students, faculty, alumni, and other members of the WVU community

• Pass off applications to Web Services to further implement features and get it to app/Google store

Design Changes

•Redesigned the iPhone

•Created Android Application

•Live Bus Tracker

• Did not get implemented

• Could not get the data needed from Mountain Line

If We Started Over

•Try to get more University Support in order to get the information needed.

•Get the information that is needed before the project is started.

•Give the departments helping us deadlines for the information needed.

Future

•Web Services

•Pass both apps off to them

•Have them implement more necessary functions

•Add trademarked photos and background

•Release to the Google/Apple stores
