Scenarios

Shared Ideas

An increasing number of event are choosing to enable attendees to engage with each other through social platforms. Attendees are encouraged to share ideas, and experiences, ask questions, pose problem and solutions.

An event management company are interested in creating a custom platform that can be customised to suit each event they run.

They require attendees to be able to login, post content in the form of text and/or images, and comment on or reply to post from other attendees.

Content created by Attendees is intended to be publicly displayed, often projected onto large screens positioned around an event.

A mobile interface is required that enable attendees to post content. A fullscreen display interface that can run unattended for displaying the content is also required.

Logging in should be handled using an external authentication provider (google, facebook, GitHub, etc…).

Select an event to develop your interface for.

Community engagement

ZIP (Zero Invasive Predators Ltd) was established in February 2015 as a research and development entity focused on developing the tools and techniques to enable an ambitious and exciting vision for New Zealand: The complete removal of rats, stoats, and possums from large mainland areas for the long term, sustainable protection of native biodiversity.

To help communities engage with this vision ZIP would like to develop an app that enables users to photophotograph wildlife in their area and receives feedback from community member.

Images and feedback are intended to be publicly available on a web site and display in an engaging way on screens at the ZIP offices.

A mobile interface is required that enable users to post content. A fullscreen display interface that can run unattended for displaying the content is also required.

Logging in should be handled using an external authentication provider (google, facebook, GitHub, etc…).
