The MyBloomsday App provides information on all things James Joyce related and allows users to document, track and share their own Bloomsday experience in Dublin.

Walk through Dublin using your GPS locator, take a photo of famous locations from Ulysses and share your experience with friends and fellows.

Aimed at tourists, natives and anybody with an interest in James Joyce, MyBloomsday uses smartphone technology and user-generated content to help users bring Ulysses to life.

6. Concept Design

The following concept has been put forward;

A smartphone application allowing its users to document,track and share their own version of Bloomsday by selecting a place and starting a tour based on locations from Ulysses. Information regarding historical and fictional references to the literature to be provided by the app, as well as content generated by other users. The MyBloomsday app will allow users more interaction with Bloomsday events via social media and provide relevant  information to all those interested in James Joyce and his literary works. The App will allow users to start their own or join others in tours based upon famous routes in ‘Ulysses’ with possible extensions to include ‘Dubliners’ and other James Joyce novels and short stories using GPS technology and social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest).

3. Personas

7. Introduction

Throughout the completion of the initial requirement specification document for the My Bloomsday App, research was carried out in order to identify the main types of users for the app. This research was carried out using different methods, and through these personas were developed, as indicated below.

12. Introduction

We developed the following use cases and scenarios based on our research using real-life personas.

13. List of Scenarios

14. Informed by Data Gathering and Analysis

        3. 1  Real people

An overview of the data gathering process and the main themes and comments that informed the design. What stories from real people influenced your design.

        3. 2  Domain Research

 The aim of our  app was to make Ulysses and James Joyce more accessible to people  by providing them with a mobile app through which they can engage with the book and locations featured in it, while creating their own Bloomsday experience.

Our research discovered that while most people are interested in learning more about one of Irelands great literary figures, they often found the book difficult to read and this was seen as a barrier for them when it came to attending the events surrounding Bloomsday or engaging themselves in reading and learning more about James Joyce and his works.

Through our interviews (see Appendix 3) and submissions on an online form (see Appendix 1) we learned that people were willing to attend and engage in events on Bloomsday as well as using the app as an online guide book^[1] and reference.

One crucial feature which interviewees and respondents were interested in was the provision of information about the locations featured in the book, references such as quotes, background information and other cultural information which would enhance a users’ experience of following a tour^[2]. Suggestions of places to go was seen as beneficial;  another possible benefit from the app would be to meet others participating on a Bloomsday tour.

One key feature would be a backlog of audio and video content from others tours, or performances from Bloomsday. This was seen as highly valuable since performances and reading out parts of the book are seen of great importance in understanding  Ulysses. As a result user-generated content stored and shared is another vital component of the app.

15. Scenario Breakdown

Scenario 1 (US-0001)

Alan and his friends have started a book club focusing particularly on the works of Irish poets and writers. Currently they have only 5 members and are looking for new people to join. They also want to find an environment which would incorporate their love for Irish poetry and culture into their meetings.

Scenario 2 (US-0002)

Mary is interested in catching a bit of culture on her weekends. She has started to read a lot more Irish literature and wants to attend any events related to Irish literary history. She would also like to have lunch in any of the historical spots, like the Shelbourne, which feature in James Joyce’s books.

Scenario 3 (US-0003)

Jonathan has a degree in literary history and has worked in the James Joyce Centre for the past 8 years. He has a great love for James Joyce and all of his works, particularly Ulysses, and he is keen to attract more  visitors to the James Joyce Centre. He wants to use the My Bloomsday app to connect with other users and to spread word of the centre and to invite other Joyceans to visit the centre.

Scenario 4 (US-0004)

Pablo is from Spain and comes over regularly to visit his daughter who is working in a bar in Dublin. He has a limited command of English so would like to meet fellow Spanish-speaking tourists who could share insights into Ireland’s heritage. He has a keen interest in late 19th and 20th century literature so the Bloomsday app would definitely appeal to him.

Scenario 5 (US-0005)

Niamh is an American with an Irish ancestry. She is very interested in delving deeper into her roots and she sees Irish literature as a great means of doing so. She would like to see and read about all the famous cultural locations and characters from James Joyce and any time which she has free whilst home in Ireland she enjoys using the My Bloomsday app to share her pictures and adventures with her friends back home.

6. Use Case Diagrams

18. Introduction

The MyBloomsday App currently has four functional modules; About, Tours & Places, News & Events, and Settings. The two main functions have been identified as ‘Tours & Places’ and ‘News & Events’. These functions will allow the user to carry out the main purpose of the app which is to find places and events which they wish to visit or attend, and providing users with tour routes and place options through which they will be able to immerse themselves into the culture and history of James Joyce’s Ulysses.

To demonstrate the four functionalities the project team have created use case diagrams to show the reader the functions available within these modules. These four diagrams will be shown below however, for the purpose of this document, we have chosen to expand on only the two primary functions with further descriptions to provide the reader with a better insight into said features.

7.1 Actors

• User
• My Bloomsday Server.

7.2 Brief Description

The objective of this use case is to demonstrate the functionality of how the user will find, choose and begin a tour or visit a place. A user can choose a tour or place from a list of  options provided by the system or from the list of routes which have been previously taken by others. Users also have the option to create their own tour based on a list of places of interest, places and tours which will be suggested based on their proximity to a location using their GPS location. When creating a tour the user can set a duration for the time he/she wishes to undertake a tour. The user can then see which locations from Ulysses or other James-Joyce related culture can be visited in the locality. By selecting their current location as a starting point the users steps can be followed through GPS technology which, as we will come to see, acts as a reference for other MyBloomsday users.

7.3 Use Case Diagram

Fig 7.7: Use Case Diagram 4: Tours & Places

7.4 User Interface wireframe(s)

Fig 7.8: User Interface Wireframe 4: Tours & Places

(i) Trigger Event

This Use Case is triggered when the user clicks the ‘Tours and Places’ button on the main menu.

(ii) Basic Flow

Here, the user can choose either a place of interest or a tour using three different methods. Either by using a map (touch the pin on the map to view details), by choosing from  a list of places and suggested tours which come with the app, or by choosing from a user-generated list. When they choose a tour, the next screen displays the details of the chosen item. Details could include description, photos, video and location. If it is a tour the user can choose to begin the tour and the app will then track their progress as they make their way to the places marked on the tour. They can upload and share their experience as they go, and save and share their route when they finish.

(iii) Alternative Flows

An alternative flow could be if the user wants to find a Joyce or Ulysses related Place of Interest. The search would be much the same as the tours (two lists and map), and when they choose they would see the same description screen without the go option. This screen would provide the user with  information about the chosen place (Historical, practical, location, opening times etc). Once the user has visited the place they can upload photos and rate and share their experience using social networks.

(iv) Non-functional Requirements

1. Usability - This is the main function of the app, it should provide the user with quick and easy access to ideas and experiences.
2. Reliability - Reliability would depend on internet connection and Gps, also the input of the users. Content may need to be regulated, for user entered tours. Some content such as about could be stored within the App itself in case there is no connection available.
3. Performance - Performance should not be an issue here aside from internet speeds for loading content.
4. Supportability - User uploaded tours and places of interest may need to be regulated by an administrator.

(v) Artifacts

When a tour or place of interest is created it must be saved and displayed in the list of places/tours  section (where applicable).

(vi) Pre-conditions

User must be logged in for this section. Must be connected to the internet to upload/view tours/places. Gps is necessary for the tour/place tracking.

(vii) Post-conditions

When the user finishes their tour they can share their experience (via social media), rate the tour, upload any photos, videos or audio. When they are finished this they can return to the list of places and events or the main menu.

(viii) Expandability

Like the News and events section the tours and places of interest could be a way for businesses to meet potential customers. For example a tourist looking for a guide, recommended places to eat, bike hire, busses. etc . Also like minded people can meet while participating on a tour or at a venue.

(ix) Authorization and audit requirements

Users will need to be logged in to use this function. This section may need to be monitored by an administrator. i.e. uploaded tours and content created by other users may need to be checked for suitability (authorised) before being displayed to other users.

(x) Business Rules

Commercial entities engaged with the application must add value and be seen as adding benefit to the remit of the app.

27. UC-0040_Level 4_News & Events

8.1 Actors

• User
• My Bloomsday Server.

8.2 Brief Description

The ‘News and Events’ section of the MyBloomsday app allows the user to find a Bloomsday or James Joyce related event. The top of the app will display to the user the most recent news and they will then be able to expand on this feature to see all older news. When choosing an event the user can  browse through the available events by either viewing a full list, searching for something more specific or choosing to search via a map based on their current location. Before the user chooses an event they will be able to expand on the event to view further details such as description, location, times, etc. They will then be able to click on ‘attend event’ if they wish to attend. Through this function the user will also be able to create an event for other users to attend.

8.3 Use Case Diagram

Fig 7.9: Use Case Diagram 5: News & Events

8.4 User Interface wireframe(s)

Fig 7.10: User Interface Wireframe 5: News & Events

(i) Trigger Event

This Use Case is triggered when the user clicks the events section on the home screen.

(ii) Basic Flow

Here, the user either wants to create news/event or find view news/event details. When the user logs in a list of James Joyce related news and upcoming  events is displayed. The user can click any of these to see more detail such as a  detailed description, photos, video links, map, directions etc.

From the news and events page the user can also click to create his/her own event or add news. This will all need to be regulated by the administrator.

(iii) Alternative Flows

The news/events section can only be accessed from the main menu. News or events could possibly be entered by alternative means  such as rss feed or by administration through an update. This functionality would not concern the end user.

(iv) Non-functional Requirements

i. Usability - This part should be very straightforward and should give the user an amount of    information with just one click from the menu with more detail available if required.

ii. Reliability - Reliability would depend on internet connection and also the input of the users. Content may need to be regulated and updated.

iii. Performance - Performance should not be an issue here aside from internet speeds for loading content.

iv. Supportability - User uploaded news and events may need to be regulated by an administrator.

(v) Artifacts

When an event or news item is created it must be saved and displayed in the news section (if suitable).

(vi) Preconditions

User must be logged in for this section. Must be connected to the internet to upload/view up to date news or event.

(vii) Postconditions

After a user creates or uploads they can either return to the list of news and events or return to the main menu.

(viii) Expandability

This section could become a place for local businesses to promote themselves. Possible Monetisation opportunity - adverts. Charities could use the app to have a Joyce themed Charity event.

(ix) Authorization and audit requirements

This section may need to be monitored by an administrator. i.e. uploaded news events may need to be checked for suitability (authorised)  to the theme of the app before being displayed to other users.

(x) Business Rules

Commercial entities engaged with the application must add value and be seen as adding benefit to the remit of the app.

Appendix 3 - Potential User Feedback

Notes from conversations with people whom were shown the MyBloomsday app mockups to and asked for their thoughts.

Rob

Date: 15/10/2013

Background: Leaving and Post-Leaving Cert. English School Teacher

Comments: I like that you don’t have to use Facebook to log in, I deleted my account. I like the way the app helps you do the tour on your own.

Dara

Background: DSA Student

Comments: Joyce is better or easier to understand when performed so to have recordings and youtube videos available is a great thing to help people understand it. I know in New York they try to have their own version of bloomsday and try to get it going, and people do dress up for it.

Background: US Tourist/English Teacher (Joyce was part of her MA in University)

Comments: I have visited Dublin twice, and I would have liked to see more places related to joyce, I visited The Dead house on the liffey, and Great Georges Street. The app would be useful if like me you didnt visit on Bloomsday itself and could see events from it on your phone

Alan

Background: Joyce Enthusiast

Comments: Enjoys attending events and dressing up in edwardian costume, he signs in a choir, and while not tech savy he attends events with his daughter who is, and she would be able to use the app to help them.
