iGrooving is a generative music mobile application specifically designed for runners. The application’s foundation is a step-counter that is programmed using the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer. The runner’s steps generate the tempo of the performance by mapping each step to trigger a kick-drum sound file. Additionally, different sound files are triggered at specific step counts to generate the musical performance, allowing the runner a level of compositional autonomy. The sonic elements are chosen to promote a meditative aspect of running. iGrooving is conceived as a biofeedback-stimulated musical instrument and an environment for creating generative music processes with everyday technologies, inspiring us to rethink our everyday notions of musical performance as a shared experience. Isolation, dynamic changes, and music generation are detailed to show how iGrooving facilitates novel methods for music composition, performance and audience participation.

Positioning of mobile phones or other handheld devices in indoor environments is hard because it’s often not possible to retrieve a GPS-signal. Therefore, other techniques need to be used for this. Despite the difficulties with indoor positioning, the Swedish mining company LKAB want to do exactly this in their processing plants. LKAB has developed an Apple iPhone mobile application to maintain real-time process data and documents for their machines. To retrieve the information an OCR code need to be manually scanned with the application. Instead of manually scanning these codes, LKAB want to develop an Indoor Positioning System that can automatically locate handheld devices in their production plants. This thesis aimed to create a proof of concept Apple iOS application that can position devices without GPS-signals. In the system developed Bluetooth Low Energy iBeacons is used to transmit data to the application. From this data Received Signal Strength Indication values is collected and sent off to a server that transform the values into positioning fingerprints. These fingerprints are used together with the classification algorithms K-Nearest Neighbour to determine in which, on pre-hand created, group the user is located. In these created groups there is a defined set of machines that is being presented back to the user. Test results conducted with the proof of concept application shows that the implemented system works and gives a positioning accuracy of up to 75%.

Phoniro, ett företag som fokuserar på välfärdsteknologi har ett internt utvecklat program för att konfigurera olika larmenheter via Bluetooth. Phoniro behöver en mobilapplikation av detta program för att underlätta fältteknikernas arbete. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att beskriva teorin bakom apputveckling, trådlös kommunikation samt utvecklingen av en mobilapplikation som är körbar på operativsystem som IOS och Android med samma funktionalitet som Phoniros interna program. För att utveckla applikationen valdes arbetsmiljön Xamarin.Forms vilket är ett verktyg för att utveckla mobila applikationer till IOS och Android. Resultatet av detta arbete är en applikation där användaren kan söka efter Bluetooth-enheter samt ansluta och kommunicera med anslutna enheter. För att mäta användarvänligheten av applikationen används en heuristisk utvärdering. Den heuristiska utvärderingen påvisar att 40% fel är oupptäckta i systemet efter en undersökning med tre utvärderare utförts.

The convenience of mobile applications combined with the efficiency and effectiveness provided by technology has contributed to an increased interest in mobile applications. Local groups and non-profit organizations often utilize outdated, manual processes and don’t have the resources or time to look into improving these systems. For Cal Poly students and other members of the community, this means there is an opportunity to apply technical skills and school projects to address these inefficiencies. This work explores whether a better system can be developed to provide the functionality of the existing system and enhance the experience of users through technology, data tracking, and automation. Two apps demonstrate the application of technology to meet needs within the San Luis Obispo community: Poly Rides is an iOS and Android application that improves ridesharing for Cal Poly students. The idea stemmed from the Cal Poly Rideshare Facebook page, where the posting format for a ride is inconsistent, making it difficult to find a ride match. The Poly Rides app provides an improved user interface for posting, searching, and coordinating rides with other students. Its success has been validated through the popularity of the app. There were 3734 installations and 7925 messages sent as of May 27, 2016. Woods is an iOS application for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch that improves the care tracking process for dogs at Woods Humane Society. The previous technique involved updating a whiteboard to manage the information and care for the avail- able dogs. The whiteboard had inconsistent and limited information, was often out of date, and did not have room to list all of the dogs. An app was created which automatically pulls the dogs from the shelter database, provides more detailed information and instructions, and is available for volunteers on their personal devices. The results revealed a much larger and more positive impact than originally anticipated; volunteers reported feeling more confident providing appropriate care to the dog (65.9%) and that they have more trust in the dogs’ information (52.3%). Of staff and volunteers, 83.9% prefer the app over the whiteboard and 10.7% have no preference. Dog breed, size, age, and photo, details not available on the whiteboard, were reported to be “Very” or “Extremely” important by 56.8% of volunteers. This thesis describes some important requirements for developing community service mobile applications, offers suggestions for facilitating the development of a high quality product, and lists some useful resources for iOS development. Both apps not only reach their goal of improving a manual process in the local community, but also have the potential to improve and impact other communities around the world.

The aim of this thesis is to create an experimental application for manipulating virtual objects in the augmented reality using an tablet for controlling the robotic arm. There is created various ways of manipulating virtual objects for their translation, rotation, and scale change. These methods are tested on several users and compared within their usability. The application allows you to send the position of virtual object changes to the PR2 robot arm and simulate manipulation of virtual objects with augmented reality.

This thesis deals with design and implementation of mobile application for iOS and Android operating systems using tools for mobile application development. Ionic 4 was chosen for implementation, which is a set of tools that can be used to develop software, using Angular, HTML and SASS.

For several decades, market fragmentation caused by different operating systems has been complicating and overpricing the process of creating new applications. Unified development for multiple platforms does not only save time and expenses, but also enables to reach a far wider audience. This work presents the topic of a cross-platform mobile development and analyzes the development of the market for currently the two most prevalent operating systems – Android and iOS. The results of the analysis are used to design and create a multiplatform tool intended to monitor immunopathologic reactions. The work also includes a marketing plan and expected economic valuation once the developed application is introduced to the market.
