Nord Réunion is a mobile app which provides valuable local travel information in Réunion Island. Due to the lack of connectivity throughout the island, Nord Réunion buffers its data to a central server while mobile broadband connection is available, and then stores it for offline usage so that the user can access the information no matter where he is. The app features a calendar of upcoming events, a database of ‘point of infortmaiton’ accessible with a search engine and augmented reality and itineraries. This app not only orients tourists visiting the island but also acquaints citizens with their cultural heritage.
