SG WALKER

Today, we are going to introduce to you guys our application!
SG WALKER

When user clicks on the SG WALKER’s icon, the homepage on the top will appear. Users are able to access to different tabs at the bottom such as Home, Attraction, Events and More.
On the Home tab users are to choose which category of walks they prefer.
Information about us is available on the home page as well.
There is also an advertising column at the bottom which will be where our main profit is coming from. Company can promote or publicize their latest event etc on SG WALKER. 

Firstly, upon clicking on SG WALK on the home tab, the page on the top will appear. There are seven categories: Bugis; City Hall; Chinatown, Clarke Quay, Little India, Orchard and Raffles Place.
We focus on these seven categories as these are the main tourist attraction destination in Singapore.


After clicking on the Bugis attraction icon, there will be two selections: Cultural Walk and Rojak Walk.
There are different selections such as Museum Walk, Heritage Walk, Shopping Walk, Sightseeing Walk and Nature Walk upon clicking on different attractions.
This is to cater to users with different needs.


 Once the user select on the walk they prefer, in this case; Rojak Walk, the route sequence will appear just like the picture on the top.
In this case, there are 8 destinations excluding Bugis MRT station which will be the starting and the ending of the walk. We chose to start and end at the nearest MRT station as it is more convenient for tourist. We also encourage tourist to take public transport as to initiate “Going Green” actions.
The first stop will be Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple followed by Sri Krishnan Temple, Albert Centre Market for a local taste of lunch, Bugis Street, Bugis Junction, Sultan Mosque, Haji lane/ Arab Street and the last stop will be Liang Seah road for local steamboat dinner.

 Upon clicking on the Start Walk, a map on the location will appear.
The map will guide you as you proceed with the walk.
The red food icon as shown on the left will be popping out, recommending food along the walk.

 There will be a brief description on the different destination as seen on the picture on top.


Secondly, upon clicking on the Plan as you walk on the home tap. The Map will flash up and it will locate the user’s current location.
It will show a 400meters boundary with different icon showing up.
The icons include; shopping, food, museum, church, temple and other tourist attractions.
This is to allow users to click on their preferred destination. SG WALKER will thereby plan their walking routes according.


 Lastly, the picture on top is the About Us tab on the home page.
It is a brief description of SG WALKER.

As seen on top, it is the attraction menu.
It includes adventure, entertainment, food, museums, national parks and night life.
Users are able to browse on different tabs according to their preference.
In the next few picture we will be elaborating more on the adventure and food tabs.


Subsequently, if the user picks Adventure, SG WALKER will recommend places with adventuring activities. Clarke Quay, Sentosa and Others are shown up.
In this case, Sentosa is selected.

 These are some of the attraction at Sentosa; Gogreen Segway, iFly Singapore, Sentosa Kayaking and Universal Studio Singapore.

 Users are able to access to a brief description of the different attraction.
For example, iFly Singapore

 If the user selects the food icon on the attraction page, a list of locations will flash up and they are Bugis, Chinatown, Clarke Quay, City Hall, Little India, Orchard, Sentosa and Others.
For example the user is at Bugis and do not know where they can dine at, they can simply click on the Bugis tab and it will lead you to the picture below.

 User can select from the following category; Bistro, Cafe, Food Court, Fast Foods, Pastry, Pub and Restaurants depending on where they are comfortable dining at.

For instance, the user selects Restaurant and the following restaurants will appear.  


Upon clicking on the restaurants in this case 'My Secret Garden', users are able to know the type of food the restaurant serves and the ambience of the restaurant.
There is also a brief description of the restaurant selected as seen on top.  


The two picture above is an example of the events tab.
This section allows user to know the latest event happening in Singapore.
It works like a smart phone calendar whereby users are able to view it month by month. This can ensure that SG WALKER is user friendly.
For example, for the month of September 2012 the Formula One Grand Prix will be held on the 23rd. Upon clicking on the event, there will be a brief information on where the event is held and the time of the event.


On the More tab, there are three main features.
The AR Browser, Weather and Promotions. 


After selecting on the AR browser, it will help users to recognize monument though their phone camera.
User can just simply flash their camera onto the monument and a brief description of the monument will pop up just like the example of the Merlion on the left.


Upon clicking on the Weather tab. SG Walker will provide users with the current and 5 days weather forecast.

This is to ensure that our users are aware of Singapore’s weather and will be able to plan their itinerary more wisely and to avoid planning outdoor activities on raining days.


On the Promotion tab it consists of discount coupons and card discount.




These are a few examples of our discount vouchers. It is also where our profits will be coming from. Interested company can advertise their latest discount with us.
Users can just simply flash these discount coupons to enjoy the great deals.


We hope you guys have a clearer picture of what SG WALKER is about now. (:
Till then.
