Before the lecture Monday 17/10/16 we had decided upon following aspects of our project idea:

Framing of problem We want to activate dead spaces in the MRT to draw people’s attention and make them interact with the wall instead of using their mobile phones when the walk through the MRT.

On the same time we believe it can have a positive Read more →

Good examples and the storyboard you created is a good start.  It seems there is a lot more interactive displays of the kind you're developing at airports.  Why might that be?  What are the similarities and differences in user experience at airports vs. MRT (amount of time spent at airport is longer, more leisure or wait time).  So airports can exploit the amount of time users spend there and provide alternative experiences.  How would you exploit the kind of activity users have at the MRT for your project?

These are all wonderful examples.  One of the reasons you can do this at an airport is also because people spend more time there waiting for flights etc.  How might the conditions be similar or different in the Singapore MRT?  How might you exploit the conditions of user movement or transit through the MRT passageways?

Designing on the platforms came a close second as we would be able to tackle a ‘practical’ problem of people waiting in the wrong areas for the train/people getting onto busy carriages when Read more →

Next steps:

Find out what do people want from city guide? What kind of content/ways to present the contents to engage people? How the design could incorporate various demographics? Consider the Read more →
