DESCRIPTION
Due to population growth in cities around the world, their infrastructure and services are challenged to keep up with the growing demand. At the same time the availability of new technologies and their appropriation by citizens leads to certain expectations and new challenges regarding the interaction design of interfaces and their use in the city. By designing for new experiences using the city as interface, and by better understanding how to design interfaces to the city that follow new interaction models, some of the issues in contemporary cities can potentially be addressed, alleviating pressure on ageing infrastructures and services. These are the slides for a talk I gave at the IxDA Sydney chapter meetup on 23 January 2014. The key take away are a set of design parameters for urban interaction design: scale, interaction models, users, and research & prototyping. There is not much text on the slides, but most of the slides include references to further information about the examples that are included in this slide deck.

Figure 3.20: User input for bus arrival
Once each submission has been recorded and sent, the list of reports is refreshed to provide
feedback for the newly added information.
3.6.6 Bus route histories
Data that is being collected by the application is also shown in other configurations. In this feature, users can view a historical ‘profile’ of the behaviour of certain buses. While recent reports can be
useful in the short term, this information was intended to be used for making travel decisions in the
long-term. First, a series of rankings for each bus in Sydney was aggregated under three categories - (1) Fullness (2) Lateness and (3) Bus arrival (or lack thereof).

Introduction: DR LIAN LOKE Director, Interaction Design + Electronic Arts Program
The IDEA program trains you to push the boundaries of contemporary design practice, through its unique blend of design thinking, human-computer interaction and emergent technologies.
A studio-based teaching environment challenges you to critically engage with the human experience of a computationally enhanced world and to collaborate in creating innovative design solutions exploring new interactive forms and expressions.
You will work closely with leading researchers to embed computational possibilities into our physical world - blending the digital and the real. Graduates of this program are equipped with strategies and tools for designing and building creative applications of technology that have the potential to transform and shape the world.
