Abstract
In this evolving digital era, where mobile applications play an increasingly pivotal role
in enhancing everyday experiences, the need for efficient navigation solutions within
complex environments like university campuses has become paramount. Navigating through
sprawling university campuses can often pose significant challenges for students, faculty,
staff, and visitors alike. To address this issue, this project introduces "Campus Map
Navigator," a mobile based application designed to simplify campus exploration and enhance
user experience. Employing principles of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) like simplicity,
Ease of learning, compatibility, etc and User-Centered Design (UCD). Campus Navigator
prioritizes the needs and preferences of its diverse user base. By prioritizing intuitive
navigation, personalized features and accessibility. Campus Map aims to not only streamline
the campus exploration process but also foster inclusivity and engagement. This project not
only addresses the practical challenges of campus navigation but also underscores the
importance of user-centric design in creating impactful mobile application.
