JAUNT RECON NEC T W IT H NAT UR E
Jaunt is a mobile application created to enrich the experience of visiting a nature center. By giving users easy access to location-based customized guidance, Jaunt empowers the user to interact more deeply with nature. Industry leaders recognize that nature centers must evolve to remain relevant in an increasingly nature-disconnected society. Client institutions can update park information and points of interest such as trails and activities, historical sites, and plant and animal species within the park. With Jaunt in hand, users can explore the park at their own pace.

My Stuff My stuff features statistics such as distance travelled and activites completed. This serves as a log of centers visited and points of interest visited.

flexible data positioning This is an example interaction upon finding a point of interest or ‘beacon’ while exploring the park. There are three types of beacons: plants, animals and historical markers. These markers can be dynamically updated by each nature center to highlight various features of the park.
ACTIVITIES
MY MAP
My Map Each user explores the park on their own terms. Each point of interest can be shown or hidden to fit each style of exploring. iBeacons notify the user when they are near these points. Each discovered beacon transforms from an ‘x’ to its respective icon when found.
My Stuff This is an all-encompassing hub for your activities while exploring parks powered by Jaunt. Each user creates a profile that logs their activities and ‘finds’ within the park. For students, this page allows them to connect their profile with an educator who can curate activites to complete for classwork.
