8. Findings

9. looking forward to participate a interaction with urban screen
Interact only by pedestrians’ presence or movement without any
portable device.
Pattern of lighting would be changed by their movement
it would be best if there are some interactive facility in places with
high pedestrian flow but not on the main street.
In places people usually get bored by waiting ( traffic light, bus stop,
train station etc.)

14. Advantage
Most digital displays in urban space, currently dominated by commercial
forces, can be broadened with cultural content.
Interactivity and participation will bind the screens to the communal context
of the space and thereby create local identity
Interaction urban display in a social scenario can enrich the casual
interaction of people nearby and this might enhance social awareness and
engagement.

15. Question
If there are many people congregating in front of it trying to interact, how
will the display response?
The grid gallery is facing both the pedestrian path and roadway. Will the
vehicles be part of the interaction?

16. Question
If the pattern of lighting changes too slightly, the visitors would perhaps only
note that the lights changed when they passed by, but not understand the
link between the way the light changed.
If the brightness stays the same whole day, it would be too soft to be
recognized during day time or too bright by night time.
