Site Observation Hard to notice the screen from distance If the media is on, hard to notice the interactive Need to find a theme that can fit in to this environment About 26 people walk passed the screen in 30mins 5 people turn there head to the screen for a few seconds 1 people slide his finger on the screen from beginning to end

6. Site Interview Didn’t notice the screen, thought just a display window Would be interesting if some media is going on here, definitely going to light up the place Will look at the screen, but wouldn’t stop, cause rush to work No special expectations about what they want to see on the screen, want something can catch their eyes Would like to engage with the interaction and will bring their kids

Public space is urban planning's moderator in a city of free players.” -Prof. Wolfgang Christ “The balance between content, location, and type of screen determines the success of the interaction with the audience and prevents noise and visual pollution.
