Introduction

LivingCampus is an interactive flash web page for an university in Brandenburg. In this course, this interactive web page will be "convert" to a native iPad application. The aim is, that the iPad app looks as close as possible like the interactive flash web page.

LivingCampus has a start point and five menu points. Every menu points has a day version from 7 am to 7 pm, a night version from 7pm to 7am and some animations. For example people, who moves from left to right, birds flying in the air, cars moving and a clock is visible.

Possible contents for LivingCampus are text, images, a link list and a download list. For a special offline-version are movies also ok. All contents for one menu item are stored in a content container, which exists for every possible language. At the moment only Germans is supported. All Contents is stored on the web server, which hosts also the Flash web page. So a internet connection is needed to start this app. Which content is available depends on the data, which is stored in xml files. There is one init xml file, which stores some general data, possible languages, the menu points and their menu items. For every menu point in a language exists a xml file, which stored the possible contents for all its menu items.
