Overview

By The Way is an interactive city guide with live news, weather updates and other interesting features like curated point of interests.

Through surveys conducted, it is revealed that train rides are unappealing. Hence, to  enhance the train ride experience, By The Way not only seeks to provide commuters a unique experience every time commuters board on the train, it also helps people (locals and tourists) to navigate their ways/ discover new places to go in the city.

Week 10 Final Project Progress 1

  • Group Members: Clara, Katie, Wanqing
  • Idea Focus: Interactive City Guide for MRT 
  • Title:
  • Target Audience: General commuters
  • Problems to tackle: 1) Long travelling time (boring rides) & 2) Unable to board (crowding at entrances/ refuse to move in)

Next steps:

  1. Find out what do people want from city guide?
  2. What kind of content/ways to present the contents to engage people?
  3. How the design could incorporate various demographics?
  4. Consider the peak hours? (space)
  5. Consider/ look into current habits of commuters? (phone, sleep etc)
