Interactive public displays for community engagement

我们研究的目标是了解在大型显示器的设计中哪些因素是重要的， 社区意识、探索和参与。我们还旨在探索公共显示系统如何 用于收集以公民为中心的数据，这些数据可供政府和公共交通行业使用， 为他们改善服务。在这个项目中，我们将迭代地原型化一个用于交通的交互式系统 骑手专注于游戏化和社区参与。骑手将能够玩一个基于位置的游戏 在乘坐移动终端时、在公共交通车站等待时以及在 使用公共交通。例如，这样的游戏可以要求玩家在屏幕上捕捉特定位置的图片。 他们的路线，以换取经验值在游戏中。这场比赛也将在公共展览上展出 位于重要的交通枢纽。这些大型显示器将显示谁在玩，在哪里玩， 他们正在玩，并将允许玩家参与额外的游戏内容，通过直接与互动， 显示.市政府管理人员将创建游戏内容，为市民提供相关的 关于他们社区的信息。例如，内容可以包括关于在网络中的特定位置的信息。 城市，如社区活动，旅游景点，或新的城市发展，城市正在寻求 当交通乘客玩游戏时，它将收集他们的游戏数据，这些数据将包含 与TransLink有关的关于乘客量的位置和时间数据。

The goal of our research is to understand what factors are important in the design of large displays to support community awareness, exploration, and engagement. We also aim to explore how public display systems can be used to collect citizen-centric data that can be used by governments and public transportation industries to improve services for them. In the project, we will iteratively prototype an interactive system for transportation riders focused on gamification and community engagement. Riders will be able to play a location-based game using their mobile device while traveling to public transit, while waiting at public transit stations, and while using public transit. Such a game, for example, may ask players to capture pictures of specific locations on their route in exchange for experience points within the game. The game will also be shown on public displays situated at key transportation hubs. These large displays will show information about who is playing, where they are playing, and will allow players to engage in additional game content by interacting directly with the display. City government administrators will create game content as a means to provide citizens with relevant information about their community. For example, content may include information about specific locations in the city such as community events, tourist attractions, or new urban developments that the city is seeking feedback on. As transportation riders play the game, it will collect their game play data, which will contain location and time data of relevance to TransLink about ridership.
