Mobile campus navigation experience with privacy-focused design elements.

Research summary

Project overview

The project investigates whether campus wayfinding services can remain genuinely useful while applying stronger privacy constraints to how movement and destination data are stored or processed.

Approach

The build combines route planning, location minimisation, and short-lived contextual prompts to support navigation without turning the application into a persistent monitoring layer. The design work treats trust as a core product requirement.

Impact

The result is a more privacy-conscious model for student-facing mobile services, especially in institutional settings where location data can quickly become overly invasive.
