The client
About the client Archive for Gemeente Amsterdam and organizanons in / connected to the city One goal to allow the people of Amsterdam to connect with the history of their city Big historical events Smaller scale history InvesNgaNng how wireless networks can help them do this beaer
The problem How can the Stadsarchief Amsterdam use loca5on based interac5ve media to get the treasures in its archive out onto the city s streets for more Amsterdammers to experience? As an informa5ve applica5on And/Or As the basis for an interac5ve experience
The assignment: Scha@en op Straat Get the stadsarchief s treasures onto the streets of Amsterdam using interacnve media Not in De Bazel or at home
What you have to do Develop a concept for an interacnve toepassing that meets the goal of bringing the archive s treasures to the target group AND then Develop an interacnve demo that allows the client and the target group to experience this concept
Target user A segment within one of the following: Buurtwewoners School children
Based around one of the Stadsarchief s themes: Amsterdammers Beroemd Binnen kijken Dieren Geld Godsdienst Grachten en torens Handel Kaarten Kinderen Liefde Macht Misdaad Mode Oproer Orde Plannen Rampen Tweede Wereldoorlog Uitgaan Verkeer Vreemdelingen Water Werk Zorg
Possible media / technology AR (e.g. Layar) Mobile web (apps, maps) Mobile phone apps (iphone, Android, etc.) Urban screens (with interacnon) Kiosks (Internetpalen) InteracNve installanons InteracNve etalages InteracNve soundscapes Etc.
Deliverables The client requires: A clearly labelled CD/DVD containing: A working interacnve demo (or a link to it) in Flash, HTML/CSS, a Mobile OS, etc. Project planning Concept document Ontwerp document Evidence of process (research, sketches, etc.) Usability report or evidence of user reacnon to demo Deadline 12:00 21 June 2010
What is an interacnve demo? It is displayed via some form of screen and the user is able to control it via some sort of input device(s). The level of control offered must go deeper than being able to switch it on/off or being able to move forward and backward between pages. (A film or a PowerPoint presentanon is not acceptable.) It requires the user to be acnve when using it and should provide immediate feedback based on choices made (it should be a lean- forward rather than a lean- back experience). It should help the user feel how it would be to use the real applicanon (and/or service).
Some suggesnons for starnng- up OrientaNon Visit the Stadsarchief (its free!) Think about possible target users Understand the themes Choose a target user: That you can access throughout the project Research: Technology, theme and info in the archive, the target user Develop: A concept Visualize things quickly!
Grove planning N.B. 1. Develop your own planning to meet these deadlines 2. Minimum one coaching meeting per phase

Have you chosen a theme and researched it? Have you researched and chosen your media? Is there a clearly defined toepassing that solves the client s problem in a way that is engaging for the target user?
