Insights:

Long queues lead to bad user experience.

Zona G is not explored fully by tourists / pedestrians since its not clear where to find more restaurants.

On high restaurant density areas it is impractical to use maps or other apps that rate restaurants.

Solutions:

A comprehensive solution that tackles all three problems seems impractical. However, I believe it is viable to devise a solution that eases problems 1 & 2. The main idea behind the solution is having a camera-first app that helps tourists with both signalization and restaurant reviews.

The app would use the camera to overlay AR components to the image the user is seeing. This way, we can add signalization to the area and overlay the reviews on top of the restaurant the user is pointing its camera at.

It is also possible to use other sensors to help the user navigate the area / restaurants. For example, we could use audio + microphone to help the user navigate the area without using the camera.

Of course, location services would be actively used in this solution. This way we know where our user is, what restaurants are near him, which roads he should go through, and where is the smartphone pointing to.
