Abstract(s)
O objetivo do presente projeto de Mestrado é a criação de uma interface gráfica de uma
aplicação para Smartphone, centrada na divulgação do potencial da Serra da Estrela,
intitulada de Mountain Trails. A aplicação pretende mostrar várias oportunidades
turísticas para os utilizadores durante as quatro estações do ano, com funcionalidades
importantes para quem gosta de visitar a Serra da Estrela, e também para promover e
divulgar este nosso património geológico, ambiental e histórico. Durante o processo,
foram abordados vários assuntos referentes aos métodos necessários para a sua
criação, durante a qual foi realizado um levantamento teórico sobre o potencial da
Serra da Estrela nas mais diversas perspetivas, com o objetivo de compreender e
promover o seu potencial. Contudo, foi também necessário abordar as áreas com
importância para o tema, domínio onde se incluem os dispositivos móveis e, em
específico, os Smartphones e as aplicações (apps), enquanto objeto de estudo. Também
se realizaram reflexões concetuais na área do Design, com enfoque em Design Gráfico,
Design de Interação e Design de Interfaces para uma melhor estruturação do processo
de criação da interface da aplicação.
Esta aplicação foi concebida com o propósito de dinamizar todo o património da Serra
da Estrela; foi pensada com base nas necessidades dos utilizadores, sendo que neste
âmbito foi realizado um inquérito com várias questões de forma a perceber as mesmas,
revelando-se determinante na orientação e abordagem da sua criação. O resultado,
contudo, é apenas um protótipo, cujas funcionalidades e o próprio design são passíveis
de serem melhorados, com o intuito de uma futura comercialização.
The goal of the present Master’s Degree project is to create a graphical interface of an app for Smartphone, focused on spreading the potential of Serra da Estrela, named Mountain Trails. The app intends to show several touristic opportunities to its users during the four seasons of the year, with important functionalities to those who like to visit Serra da Estrela, as well as promote and publicize our geologic, environmental and historic patrimony. During this process, several issues were addressed regarding the methods necessary for its creation, during which a theorical research was carried out on the potential of Serra da Estrela in different perspectives, with the objective of understanding and promoting its potential. However, it was also necessary to address the areas of importance to the topic, a domain which includes mobile devices and, in particular, apps, as a subject of study. Conceptual reflections were also carried out in the Design branch, with focus on Graphic Design, Interaction Design and Interface Design for better structuring of the app’s interface creation process. This app was created with the purpose of dynamizing the entire heritage of Serra da Estrela; it was thought out based on the needs of users, and in this context a survey was carried out with several questions in order to understand them, turning out determinant in the orientation and approach of its creation. The result, however, is only a prototype, whose functionalities and the design itself can be improved, with the intention of future commercialization.
