Story Before the festival

During the festival

After the festival

Notification System First: only notification when it is going to rain

More brainstorming: whole notification system

Notifaction System Properties:

Guaranteed delivery

Fast delivery and fast notice

Posibility for personalization

Existing notifications

Smartphone (app, sms)

Screens

Speakers

Social media

Word of mouth

Solution

Wristband

Possible Notifications Rain

Start of a certain performance

Promo

Evacuation

GSM

Alarm

Testing 1 Purpose: time for noticing texts notifications

Method: SMS -> time

Rationale: night life ≈ festival

Who: 6 students

Where: night life Leuven

Testing 1 Results

Group sms

Individual sms

Testing 1 Conclusion

Group vs individual

Not conclusive

-> New testing method with less influence from me

Testing 2 Purpose: time for noticing texts notifications

Method: SMS (from elsewhere) -> time

Rationale: night life ≈ festival

Who: 7 (age 21-28)

Where: night life Leuven

Testing 2 Results

Conclusion: large variation

Prototype Wristband

Led lamp

Vibration motor

Testing prototype Purpose: time for noticing notifications with prototype

Method: start prototype -> time

Rationale: video to disctract attention

Who: 14 (age 19-51)

Where: different places

Results: 100% within 2 seconds

Conclusion: Vibration of wristband is very effective

Testing: colors Purpose: how well do people remember colorcodes?

Method: assign color to letter, remember letter

Rationale: directly and a day later

Who: 21 (age 19-51, internationals)

Where: different places

Testing: colors Result:

Conlcusion: guessing

Testing: colors 2 Purpose: how well do people remember colorcodes when

the chose the codes themselves?

Method: assign color to letter, remember letter

Rationale: directly and a day later

Who: 10 (age 22-29, internationals)

Where: different places

Testing: colors 2 Result:

Conlcusion: better but not enough

Wrisband:

led lamp and vibrating Led -> already exists:

Tomorrowland

Xylobands

Vibrating -> already exists:

Zband

fitbit

Use existing technique for new purpose

Coldplay

Problems Remembering the colorcode

How long should the notification stay on?

Personalization

Controlling the notifications

Colorblind

How can technology contribute to a notification system at mass events?

Planning Januari: different notifications

Februari-march: able to connect to wristbands
