what is field trip
There are two things that set Field
Trip apart from other apps. One is
that it o ers you a guide to unusual
and often hidden objects or buildings
around you, and the other is the presentation
and the interactive way it works. The idea is that
as you walk around, facts will pop up on your
screen in the form of cards, and the relevant
information can be spoken to you if you are
wearing headphones. As you can imagine, this
will be very useful and potentially educational in
areas where a lot of unusual facts are on hand,
and it is like having a tour guide with you all
of the time to increase your knowledge of the
world around you. Your location is automatically
monitored as you travel, and you need do
nothing but let the app do the work for you.
The quality of the information supplied is also
exceptionally good with hi-res photos aligned
with text that is neither long-winded nor too complex for most people to understand quickly as
they move around.
The main concern we have with Field Trip is
that the number of results that pop up can be
limited in many places due to the nature of the
information on o er. This is understandable
at this early stage, but it does mean that user experience may be very di erent for each
individual at present.
A potentially top-drawer app with lots of uses,
but the data on offer needs increasing to make
it a fully-viable solution.
