Overview

Metropolis &Hybridization- Conceptual principles of group 6

→ Cultural and Social Diversity

1. The main topic

Metropolis &Hybridization- Conceptual principles of group 6

Our vision:Create an interactive

installation which enables users to experience an authentic distant ride by any public transport which connects people from two different places.

Metropolis &Hybridization- Conceptual principles of group 6

Physical place: Two metropolises e.g.: Sao Paulo and Hamburg

2. The idea

Metropolis &Hybridization- Conceptual principles of group 6

Our object: Urban public transport, such as

Bus Metro Hailed shared

taxi

3. Possible places of the interaction

Metropolis &Hybridization- Conceptual principles of group 6

Inside : Public transport as meeting

point of everyday life see the behavior and the

number of people inside each “car”

communicate with each other target group: travelers, daily

users of the bus (businesspeople and workers, students, families…)

3.1 Ways of interaction

-Where will the media be placed?- From which point of view does one see the object?

Metropolis &Hybridization- Conceptual principles of group 6

Outside (face): the car is used as an

interface to communicate because it rides through the city in contrast to the stop where there is no movement

target group: city (everybody who’s standing outside)

Stop: entertainment by

communication processes which will connect to the other place on the globe

target group: people waiting alone with a lot of people

3.1 Ways of interaction

Metropolis &Hybridization- Conceptual principles of group 6

Path: Comparison of

traffic routes, city environment

Target group: people in the car, people outside the car

3.1 Ways if interaction

Live media Screens Camera Lights (output of

the sensor) Sensors Sounds Internet

3.2 Digital Technologies

e.g.: Pressure sensors plus lights

((( Internet )))

Visual interaction: the other side of the mirror

Our intension:

No invasive design,

though we want to get noticed in the daily routine of the city!
