Mobile detective game

The module "Mobile Cartography" is a course that is held every winter semester for the international master program in Cartography. The lectures cover theories, methods and applications for the provision of information and cartographic representations on mobile devices. In the exercises, students learn how to develop native mobile map applications and have to submit a project. A group of four international students from Ghana, Poland, Spain and Taiwan have been particularly creative this winter semester. They put the app user in the role of a detective in the 1920s who has to solve the mysterious disappearance of the mayor of Dresden. In order to do so, evidence must be collected from various locations and the four suspects must be analysed again and again. A great deal of passion and attention to detail has gone into the development of this application. The group will be presenting their detective app at the conference "Digitale Welten", which takes place in Dresden at the end of February. The application is available in Google Play Store for Android devices and invites users to experience the unique charm of Dresden in a special way and immerse themselves in the mysterious circumstances surrounding the mayor's disappearance:
