- An audio based map tour for the Antonine Wall and Union Canal
This is an iPhone app I built as part of my summer MSc project at University of Glasgow. It provides the user with a map-based audio tour of a Roman Fort site near Falkirk, Scotland and allows them to track their location around various audio ‘hotspots’ on the route. Built using XCode 4.0 and Objective-C, it takes advantage of frameworks such as CoreLocation, CoreAudio, AVAudioFoundation and UIKit and is driven by an sqlite3 database implementation. The app is currently under further development and improvement in future preparation for submission to the app store.
