Public interactive displays have the potential to significantly enhance the quality of life for people living in future city spaces. However, current public displays and interfaces go unnoticed or completely ignored by the majority of passers-by.
In a collaboration between The University of Glasgow, Pufferfish and Celtic Connections we developed an interactive installation that allowed festival visitors to browse performing artists by geography. During the installation we also collected pedestrian and touch data allowing us to quantify behaviour and user patterns.
This installation is part of a larger piece of work researching public interaction together with The School of Computing & Science at the University of Glasgow. Read more about it at publicinteraction.co.uk
