“Known Nodes” is a prototype design for an app that allows users to input nodes they enjoy visiting around Charlottesville and to travel existing paths, all while setting and reaching goals for increasing weekly activity. The prototype was developed by focusing on pathways and nodes around the UVA Hospital and expanding from there.
