Iribe Center "Lobby" Kiosk You must design a stand-alone kiosk application that is intended to sit in a "lobby" space of the new Iribe center. We put "lobby" in quotes because there are a variety of places on the ground floor of the Iribe Center (the official lobby, the atrium, the cafe, the area outside of the Antonov auditorium, etc) where people might want to be able to access a "lobby" kiosk. It should assist anyone who has a reason to be in the building, even if that reason is to try to find a different destination on campus - remember, this building is at the "front door" of campus! You will have to learn what information people require and who might be coming to this new space that wouldn't be in AVW or CSIC (for example), but you might imagine it should include at least information about the departments with offices there, classes taught in there or in CSIC, student events, how to get to CSIC or other likely destinations, etc. The actual list is actually quite long... Even though you are potential users, you should not think that all users are like you. Your goal should be to create a system that could actually be used in the building (if you make something impressive, we might pitch to get one fully implemented and installed). Since the building will used by more than just CMSC and the building is not the only building on campus, you should consider having some secondary information that other visitors to the building might need. Your job is to design and implement a system that could actually be used by the department. Your kiosk can have an Internet connection if you so choose, but you do need to consider what we wouldn't want people doing at this kiosk in addition to what we would want them doing. The kiosk can have a microphone and speakers if so desired, but again the use of these in the context of the location of the kiosk is important. When building your prototype you will need to populate the system with a wide variety of real information in order for us to fully evaluate your system. This page may be updated with additional guidelines within the next few days... |
