After the midway presentations and feedback we received, we proceeded with an idea for a circular interactive seating area. We felt that the seating needed something extra in order to illustrate the whole concept of the Social Location technology, so we revisited our rejected concepts for elements we could glean. We decided to use the space within the ring to include an interactive floor to further attract and captivate the attention of passers-by.
· Initially the projection in the centre shows words randomly floating around.When a person sits down, the area around them illuminates and the words on the projection swarm towards them.
· When another individual joins them, the area around them also illuminates, as well as the space between them. Connecting them through light. The words are also attracted by the second person and form trails between them.
· The words ask and answer the question ‘What are you doing?” creating a fictional conversation.
The same principal applies when more people join the seating.
To quote Nokia:
“People want to be truly connected, independent of time and place, in a way that is very personal to them. And, Nokia’s promise is to connect people in new and better ways.”
Our idea captivates people’s attention by providing them with somewhere to rest in a busy exhibition, and an interactive experience which becomes increasingly interesting as more join in. By visualising connections through light and text it creates opportunities for interaction with unpredictable outcomes.
