PakStan

Project Title

PakStan

Project Area of Specialization Software EngineeringProject Summary

The idea is to develop a mobile application that is completely dedicated to Pakistan. PakStan promotes tourism through local art, languages & places. Being a country of 22 million people, only a small percentage of tourists are welcomed to Pakistan. People re-visit the famous places and are unaware of the many undiscovered places that are located in this beautiful country. People do not have access to artisans, mainly the ones who create handicrafts in the rural and far-away places. PakStan will let the artisans showcase and put up their products on sale from anywhere in the country. Not just handicraftsmen, PakStan offers other kinds of art like digital art which can be displayed for commission. Moreover, Pakistan is widely diverse when it comes to languages. We have a total of 72 languages that are spoken in Pakistan, native speakers of these languages have a hard time communicating in English/Urdu. Also, people just know the mainstream languages like Urdu, English, Punjabi and are unaware of other languages. We have language translators on our application that will translate the pages and the messages sent between the seller and the buyer into their local languages, so they can understand better. PakStan will have creative content that will encourage tourism in Pakistan.

Project Objectives

• Artisans can earn money from home.
• Artisans’ beautiful handicrafts won’t go in vain.
• Pakistan’s beauty will be shown as VR
• Translations of pages & messages from English to Urdu, Punjabi & Sindhi.
• All forms of art by Pakistani artists will be promoted and can be sold.

Project Implementation Method

We will be using Agile process model for planning PakStan. The project will be divided into two modules:

Module 1: Web Development

Module 2: Application Development

In module 1 we will integrate the e-commerce system involving sellers & buyers through a selling portal using Java & JavaScript and importing frameworks that will allow portal delivery. Shopify's subscription is going to be enabled to ease the shipping process.

In module 2 the development of the mobile application will begin. You can type in one language, and the app will transcribe what you say into another language. Tap the microphone icon at the top of the screen and speak your word or phrase into the app. Google Translate then translates your words in the target language.

In our final phase, we will perform beta testing of our application. The testing process is going to be carried on by unit & integration testing and finally set off by beta testing. After this, the deployment of the application & website is going to be integrated.

Benefits of the Project

• First, souvenirs play a very important role in tourism. They are regarded as items of memories of the people, place, events and gifts.
• Second, souvenirs serve as motivational factors, they provide a source of satisfaction and help shape tourists' experiences.
• Talking with prospective clients though language translators.
• Customers can plan a holiday with their family through the feature of PakStan.
