A project report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering, University of the
Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for
the degree of Master of Science in Engineering / In view of the recent breakthroughs in memory chips, electronic
fieldguides are becoming more feasible, specially when they
offer better portability and faster information access when
compared to conventional fieldguides. In this report we discuss
the importance of inexpensive electronic fieldguides which at
the same time provide suitable user interface for maximum
information transfer. The implications of software architecture
are discussed during the course of designing the software model
of a bird identifier fieldguide. This model is used to evaluate
the behavioral performance and effectiveness of the user
interface; both of which play a vital role in establishing the
cost of the device. These observations are brought together in
conclusion, where the potential role of electronic fieldguides
in the domain of education and science are highlighted. / Andrew Chakane 2019
