    TECHNICAL DETAILS

    GEOLOCALISATION


    Mucamers have the opportunity to locate the sounds they catch in order to have a memory of the place where they saved that sound. They can discover new places when users publish the location with their music.

    Geolocalisation works with the GPS which is inside every smartphone. That GPS allows to precisely define the current position of the smartphone as long as it has signal. In fact it works with satellites that allow the localisation. We will use the GPS of Google maps, which allows a precise information about your localisation.




    USER TESTS

    We made severals tests to improve our prototype. In each case, the person was asked to do some basic things with the figma prototype and was asked questions about the application. The goal of these tests was to improve the user experience. Thanks to these tests we managed to find new options for our app.

    Here is an example of a test user

    DEVELOPPING THE APP







    We wanted to develop another part of the app, it was an option that would allow to create and mix your own music such as the famous app GarageBand.
    You record a sound then you can mix it directly on the app in order to transform it into a music piece and finally you can share it.


    Following the example of Sound cloud, we can make a premium version of the app. The long term goal is to make the app profitable. The premium version will allow to listen music without any advertising for example.
