  1. Urban Sensoria: Human-Centered Computing in Practice Dr. Alejandro Jaimes LUMMI Denzil Ferreira Fabio Kruger Jorge Gonçalves Moritz Behrens Sofia Reis

  2. Motivation • Explore the light conditions in Oulu and their relation with the cultural habits of Oulu people • We wanted to explore how sunlight affects peoples' mobility around Oulu's downtown areas. We've setup three cameras around the city and observed that people deflect from non-illuminated areas, with temperature drops up to 10ºC between areas • Hypothesis • Are people like sunflowers? • Do they follow the light?

  3. Methodology • Spatial analysis and observations • Explore the specific cultural habits of Oulu people • Count people for 5 minutes • Experimenting / performing • Draw the shadow lines • Blue in the morning • Red for lunch • White in the afternoon • Take pictures of the drawings on the ground • Develop a software prototype • User centered study • Evaluate prototype • Interviews

  6. Other observations... • People gathering around or looking when the line was being drawn • Intimidated when they saw the camera • When we looked straight at them • Even a small / unusual action can draw attention to the screens

  7. Other observations... • The sun moves VERY fast • In less than 5 minutes the shadow had already displaced

  8. A few paper prototypes…

  12. The Prototype

  13. The Prototype • We recorded images from two hotspots once every 30 seconds • A time lapse of the videos is presented to users

  14. Some funny picture captured by the cameras

  15. Evaluation • Main findings: • The vertical slider looks intuitive • All interviewees interacted with it naturally • The app is funny • Not everybody likes the sun • Our app can also be used to look for shadows
