Sapporo World Window

Sapporo World Window is an interactive screen-based application that allows people to share their creativity and knowledge about places around Sapporo. The large screens in the passage bring together people’s creative outputs including videos, images, and comments about places Sapporo from various social media services such as YouTube, Flickr, Foursquare, and Twitter. By using QR Codes, pedestrians can easily find out more about the places shown on the screens, including what it is, how to get there, and what others have said about the places, as well as expressing their own thoughts about it. In turn, Sapporo World Window helps people to turn the passageway into a lively social place, a “point of connection” that is thriving on and inspires people’s sharing of creativity with the locals and visitors alike.

City Forward from IBM

City Forward, a free, web-based platform that lets you visualize and interact with city data while engaging with a community of people who are passionate about the future of our cities.

City Forward is a free, web-based platform that enables users – city officials, researchers, academics and interested citizens world-wide – to view and interact with city data while engaging in an ongoing public dialogue.

By using City Forward’s straightforward exploration tools, you can identify patterns, trends and correlations in the data that may reveal new insights and point to new areas of interest for further investigation. These explorations can then be shared and discussed within the City Forward Community and beyond – wherever people gather to exchange ideas about cities.

The data for City Forward is collected from numerous sources and is dependent on the availability of public data. City Forward data features metropolitan areas, cities and smaller geographic areas varying in size, development phase and location.

The Speed Camera Lottery

Who: Kevin Richardson, Winner of Volkswagen’s - “The Fun Theory” project

What:

The winning idea of the fun theory award, submitted by Kevin Richardson, USA. Can we get more people to obey the speed limit by making it fun to do? This was the question Kevin’s idea answered and it was so good that Volkswagen, together with The Swedish National Society for Road Safety, actually made this innovative idea a reality in Stockholm, Sweden.

If you speed, your photo will get taken and the driver will be issued a citation, that money will go into a pot. If you obey the speed limit, your photo will also get taken and you will go into a lottery to win some of the money collected from the speeders.

Where: Stockholm, Sweden

When: 2010

Tools: Speed Cameras, Vizualization, Community Sourced, Data
