An Android App to Warm your Seat while Walking to your Car
The aim of this project is to explore the capabilities of Android Studio to quickly develop mobile applications for a given purpose. The chosen context is the creation of an app that allows the user to remotely control his/her connected car in order to:
- locate it
- lock/unlock the doors/trunk
- activate the air conditioner and define its temperature
- honk or activate the lights
- check its status (temperature, warnings, ...)
Although it is not meant to be used in a real-case scenario, the developed application passed the initial implementation phases, including a user evaluation executed in order to seek further improvement windows. Final considerations for future work are also provided.
