NTU Q-Count: smart spaces, informed choices by Sri Ganesh Babu Sri Vaishnavi

“…NTU Q-count allows for users to view different categories of study spaces and health facilities with their respective images and addresses, use the in-built Google Maps API to navigate to their chosen location if necessary, check-in and check-out of chosen study rooms to update the real-time crowd density, as well as to time their study progress with a study timer incorporated into the application. The main goal of NTU Q-Count is to allow NTU students to manage their study times and locations, revolutionising the way they navigate and utilise campus spaces in a time-efficient and space-efficient manner. …”
