Challenge, approach, and impact

• Tap2Map’s challenge was two-fold: designing a user-friendly flight planning app for newcomers and technically computing accurate flight paths considering terrain, drone capabilities (speed, autonomy, camera sensors), and various use cases.

  Achieving a smooth, but complex experience can be a daunting task to take on, especially when processing large data sets with highly computational algorithms. However, the app manages to give users a clean interface, with intuitive controls, and exceptional performance. Technically, it was crucial for the app to remain stable and highly performant while carrying the heavy algorithmic load, especially since it is the only interface between the user and a flying drone.
