Desarrollo de una APP para la difusión de las culturas precolombinas del Museo Rumiñahui mediante la utilización de beacons.

Abstract

The aim of the present research was to create a mobile application, which allows showing the information of the pre-Columbian cultures that existed in the Canton Píllaro through the Rumiñahui Museum, cultures like Cosanga -Píllaro, Puruhá and Panzaleo, using Beacons, which manipulate a Bluetooth connection, to transmit information to mobile devices. The creation of the mobile app for Android devices was conducted through two creative processes, which analyze needs and propose specific and concrete solutions, in the design, it also provides information about the museum and the various pieces of pottery that contain a certain attraction for the people. The research uses the Gui Bonspiepe design methodology, for its graphic appearance and brand, as well as the methodology for mobile application development MDAM, as such an instrument is created that helps to strengthen the culture of the Píllaro canton province of Tungurahua present in the museum. Based on the development tests of Puntu (Android App ), it was validated under heuristic parameters that include navigability, legibility, information submitted, bluetooth connection devices, among others. This results in a 70% of acceptance for its innovation in proximity devices with great potential for implementation. During the execution of these tests it was found that its operating capacity reaches 20 devices, with different characteristics in its operating system and that its adaptability between screens was effectively developed. It is concluded that the bluetooth connection devices have a great future in their implementation in different areas. It is recommended to work separately the resources necessary for their development, in addition to the use of external platforms and a database to improve the user experience.
