LxAz

LxAz is an app that provides user tours around the city based on their location. The purpose of this project is to be educational and provide information about the tile history and motifs but also to provide a different experience while exploring the city of Lisbon.

The Azulejo (Tile) has been present in Portuguese architecture, culture, and life since the 15th century. It became an art that not only had a decorative and architectural/functional purpose but was and still is a way to tell the history of the country.

Following the inspirations of the art movements of the time and patterns seen in other countries, it became part of Portugal’s identity.
The name comes from the combiniation of Lixbõa (the antiquated spelling of the city) and Azulejo.

A notification appears on the lock screen, informing the user that a tour is available at their current location. If the user decides to start the tour, they can choose the duration of the walk and the route. Additionally, the user has the option to skip the tour.

As tiles are collected, users receive audio information, and the tiles are saved in the Collectibles section. Users are guided by a compass and receive clues about which tile to search for.

The information is then available in both audio and text formats on the Collectible menu, located on the tour page. The information is illustrated with images that are related to the tour taken.

The screens displaying times and route choices were added after user testing. It was important to consider user availability and provide choices for at least three different routes that can be taken as a tour. The overall consensus was that the app is visually captivating, and users appreciated it
