McArthur Court’s hazy future is not the easiest subject for an Iphone Application. This is mainly because the planning committee has yet to decide the future of the arena. Our main idea is that the application would serve as the catalyst for the decision that will be made. An interactive poll with options for the court’s future would be on one page of the application, and after a given date, we would send the winning decision to the committee. Our biggest goal with this application is to directly give students a voice because we believe it is their campus, their court and should be their choice.
Prominent Iphone users would probably not download this application if it were just to take a poll. With this in mind, our group decided to add another aspect to the application–a game. Within the game, you would be able to create mass destruction and chaos by destroying the court in various ways. This adds another level to the application and keeps people interested after they have cast their vote on the poll. Forms of destruction include floods, fires and heat-seeking missiles. The user would have interactive control (touch screen) over the flood levels, missile direction and the heat of the fire. There are also options like King Kong and an alien invasion. To keep users interested, we would periodically add upgrades for other destruction options.
There are several other options besides the poll and game. Users can use the interactive history guide to learn about the court and watch memorable moments on the video feed. These aspects will have upgrades available in reference to Matthew Knight Court. Users will be able to see posted schedules for the court, purchase tickets for games and watch video highlights.
We would accepting advertisements from local businesses to keep the download free to the public. It is unreasonable to think that many people would pay for this limited application. We also understand that once a decision is made about the court, users may want to delete this application. We plan to also add upgrades for the court for whatever option is chosen. If the court becomes a music venue we plan to add a schedule for concerts and a ticket buying option. If dorm expansion is chosen, we will add interactive guides to its look, completion dates and dorm rent prices. If it’s turned into a community gym, we will add schedules for use options and a live video camera so people can see if the court is in use.
