experience frameworks 2014

X W

1. The new millennium has ushered the simple word of "wayfinding"

from old language (signage) into exciting new territories (literally),

such as smart cities, sensor networks, volunteered geography, GPS,

and Google Earth (to name a few).

2. You will get skilled with principles, methods, and new tools that help

people find their way through a wide range and level of settings, e.g.,

museum paintings, websites, zoos (and other edutainment land-

scapes), and various information-environments (of interest to you).

3. You will read about, research, and propose various navigation

structures to address (or redress) societal problems via maps or

other experience-design narratives using artistic maps, Google Earth

Pro, Google Tour Builder, and/or your preferred digital media.

Eyeglancetheoryandmethods–cont’d

The top image is the original painting like on the previous page.

The lower image is all of my classmates’ results. Where their eye went.

From this we can see, that a lot of people’s eyes went to certain ‘hot spots’.

Like the people in the image or anywhere there was something going on or bright/dark spots in the painting.

Hypothesis: An hypothesis was made in MCAD's Experience Frameworks class that behavior of engaged visitors at a zoo (as measured by mean length of visitors' observation period) will correlate positively with an animal's mean height. Stated another way, the taller an animal the longer a zoo visitor will stay to watch.
