Birth of the Idea Bootlegging brainstorming categories “waiting, youngster, leave message, cell phone, writing, talking” Graffiti on the pond at Järntorget Draw things with your finger on glass with mist Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end
Why we chose the idea Strong UbiComp character Most fun to implement We had the technical knowledge to implement it Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end
What? Draw digital graffiti Bus shelter Digital spray can Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end
How? • ACTIVE person • Spray like as if it was a real spray can • Different colors in one and the same can • Pace sensitive - e.g. hold can still - the paint starts dripping • ACTIVE graffiti • Temporal dimension - the art fades away with time • No permanent mark - no need for cleaning-up Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end
Why? Time killer For ordinary people New way of expressing creativity Legal variant of graffiti How will it be used? We don’t know! Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end
The Video At YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3QNv-FWLas or At interACTIVE graffiti homepage http://web.student.chalmers.se/groups/uc07-4/video.html Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) W3C Standard XML based technology Apache batik Library Some animation for fading effect Supports any size of display Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end
The Drawing tool Drawing Animation Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end
Important Design Decisions No graphical interface - should melt into the shelter How to start and stop drawing - the can Can on site or lease or buy from Västtrafik? Fading rate and clutter Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end
Lessons Learnt Clear description of the concept early in the process - less communication problems Motion tracking is not as easy to do as we first thought Introduction Concept Prototype Process The end
