When clicking on a specific altar in the list, a detail page opens that includes the image of the altar, the title, who the altar is honoring, who created it, and a full description written by the artist. The list is organized numerically so it easy to find the number of the altar, as they are laid out at the event space numerically as well. The list of altars was included in the app using the graphical layout that focuses on the image for each list item and lays them all out in a grid formation. When tapping on an area of the map, say one of the altar areas, a box popped up with a list of altars in that location. Grandstand then took that image and superimposed it atop the native map in the app so that an individual viewing it in the app could see their location in relation to other areas of the festival. The map was drawn to scale and included graphical representations of the different areas of the event space. Designers with the organization drew up a map of the Hemisfair location of the event. The general map of Muertos Fest, while maintaining the general theme and design of the overall app, gave clear locations for the altars. To achieve this, the app did a few different things: Grandstand’s app helped address the issues of discovering altars, viewing information about them and voting on their favorite. After viewing the altars in the app or in person, people will need to vote for their favorite. Visitors who are at the festival in person would like to discover the altar in person so they need directions. Manage presentation of information on the 60 altars that were eligible for voting with a full description and photo of the altar. All of the voting for people’s favorite honorary was handled through the app.

Included in this event, is a voting system for the altars. The focus of the event was, of course, the altars where nearly 60 area individuals or groups created a memorial to honor lost loved ones. In 2021, for the return of the festival, after a 1-year hiatus due to Covid-19 in 2020, the organizers sought a way to assist visitors in discovering the 60 altars honoring loved ones, and the 40+ performances by musicians and performers. Muertos Fest is a cultural celebration of Día de los Muertos where loved ones are remembered and honored. San Antonio, Texas, hosts one of National Geographic’s 7 Best Fall Festivals in the US every October. Dia De Los Muertos event sees success Voting for Altars in Muertos Fest App Successful
