The objective of this multimedia project is to design and implement a working web interface that helps travelers to better remember the route to be taken when asking for directions to a specific location. The system uses multimedia elements, mainly JPG images over an appropriate presentation protocol, and supported by vocal narration and text, to describe the landmarks a traveler is expected to see along the route. The interface is viewable on both regular browser and micro-browser on hand-held gadgets. The logic layers and database layer will be designed and implemented as well to ensure an end-to-end solution. The effectiveness of the design is tested by carrying out the experiments on new visitors to "Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS" (UTP). The time required to reach with or without thesystem is used asthemetrics of effectiveness.
