Last week a group of Montrealers participated in an urban interface ‘walkshop’

Today you will explore how urban interfaces can improve the daily city experience of Montreal in a participatory design session

You raised many important observations, issues and ideas in the discussion

Create a shared understanding of the walkshop dialogue to move to the next phase

Let’s review the key points to inform a participatory design exercise to improve the city experience

Inclusive Social Meaningful

Inclusive MeaningfulSocial

Apply inclusive design for accessible interfaces, a common interaction language and ‘remote control’

Apply accessible design for citizens with visual, auditory and mobile impairments

Develop a common interaction design language of keypads, signage, layouts

Extend interface functions to mobile devices for remote ease of use

Inclusive Social Meaningful

Promote social experiences in the city and polite interfaces which learn our preferences

Facilitate impromptu social encounters in the city

Develop interfaces that learn your preferences over time to prevent repetition and save time

Develop polite unobtrusive undemanding interfaces which require less ‘attention’

Inclusive Social Meaningful

Present meaningful information in forms which are an attractive and engaging element of city experience

Divide or reclaim public information from advertising in displays

Deliver meaningful information to individuals in a way they can act upon

Reflect function in form in appropriate, playful and attractive ways
