Virtual Ally: A Tableau-Based Campus Navigation System

Abstract

A huge influx of freshmen is accepted annually by the institution. Despite the presence of floor maps, finding one's way about the campus and locating various administrative buildings, departments, libraries, and cafeterias may be quite a challenge. Because of this, it is not easy for a newbie to reach the necessary location in a timely manner. When it comes to finding specific places and the fastest way to go from one place to another on campus, a map-based program like Virtual Ally is invaluable. Consequently, no one on campus will be as confused or irritated. The primary goal of this system is to design a prototype for an app that can be used on smartphones to navigate the university campus. Tableau and Android Studio are used in the development of the suggested system. The system maps each spot using the tableau sketching tool and utilizes coordinates derived by studying map pictures to find each region.
