Challenges

Magnetic interference caused inconsistencies in Qibla direction readings, particularly in urban areas with high electromagnetic activity. This posed a challenge for ensuring precision in diverse environments.

Incorporating AR functionality across various iOS and Android devices required careful alignment of hardware capabilities with software requirements. Ensuring smooth performance on older devices added complexity.

Allowing multiple customizable themes created performance issues on older devices, affecting the fluidity and overall user experience of the app.

The web platform did not support the compass-based qibla finder.

Solutions

Developed magnetic interference warnings with clear recalibration instructions to guide users and used CoreLocation tools to enhance the reliability of compass readings.

Leveraged ARKit for iOS and conducted extensive cross-device testing to ensure consistent AR functionality and implemented efficient algorithms to handle AR rendering smoothly, even on resource-constrained devices.

Streamlined UI rendering by optimizing graphics and using lightweight assets. Devised memory-efficient techniques to support seamless transitions between themes on older devices.

Created a map-based visual qibla direction finder for the web platform. It allows users to see the direction of the kaaba from their location via maps.

Key Features

Qibla Direction Dial for Simplified Precision

The Qibla direction dial features a compass-style interface, displaying the device’s orientation, Qibla direction, and sun’s position. This functionality ensures precise and straightforward Qibla finding, making it easily accessible for users.

Map Integration for Enhanced Visual Navigation

The map integration provides a dotted line animation connecting the user’s location to the Qibla. Full-screen mode enhances spatial awareness, instilling confidence in accuracy and usability.

Auto Rotation

Augmented Reality (AR) Mode for Immersive Qibla Guidance

The AR mode enables users to virtually place and align a prayer mat with the Qibla direction, offering an immersive experience through ARKit which is especially beneficial in unfamiliar locations.

Theme Customization to Personalize Users’ Qibla Finder

The module includes 15+ premium themes, ranging from embroidery and calligraphy to modern styles. These allow users to customize the dial to match their preferences, boosting engagement and satisfaction.

Magnetic Interference Warnings to Ensuring Compass Reliability

We developed Magnetic Interference Warnings feature to alert users to magnetic interference affecting compass accuracy. It includes step-by-step recalibration guidance, and building trust by ensuring precise and reliable Qibla readings.

Results & Benefits

  • Enhanced usability via the precise Qibla finding.
  • Immersive AR guidance leads to an engaging and intuitive experience.
  • Map-based navigation enhances spatial awareness and navigation confidence.
  • Customizable themes allow users to tailor their experience, boosting satisfaction.
  • Global app engagement fosters trust, increasing user satisfaction.

Outcomes

Operating flawlessly across iOS, Android, and web, the Qibla direction finder ensures precise, interactive Qibla guidance through a compass, map, and AR features. Personalization options and magnetic interference alerts ensure reliability and user engagement. By combining accuracy with intuitive design, the module significantly boosts app usability, meeting the client’s goal of providing a seamless, user-centric prayer assistance experience for a global audience and establishing them as a leader in Muslim-focused app features.
