BLACKSBURG, Va., Feb. 20, 2015 – Despite the cold, snowy weather interfering with a scheduled team meeting, Laura Avakian, Ryan Kiel, and Seth Cannon proceeded to research what has already been done and what is currently working in the field of tourism and driving tour apps.
They gathered 30 articles from ACM’s database using a variety of keywords that had to do with tourism and driving tour apps, and looked for similarities between the articles to see what common themes existed to see what has worked, what currently works,and what might make their own project work. The team also did a comparative matrix and competitive analysis for 10 different apps that already exist .
Additionally, the team reached out to Paul Quigley and have scheduled a meeting with him next week so they can get a better idea of what direction the team is going to take the app, and what sort of features the app should implement.
The three developers are excited to meet with Mr. Quigley and to design the app itself.
The team, formerly named “Kool Katz,” has decided to come up with a more relevant title that is to be determined. This should be determined by next week, so look out for next week’s press release to find out what it will be.
Contact Laura Avakian for any further inquiries.
