2. Technologies at festivals
 App
 Screen
 RFID access control
 Social media
 RFID payment
 Temperature, audio, movement

3. Source: Lightwave

4. Brainstorming
 On my own and with friends
 With Wouter
 With Kurt
TeScthankoelhooglideemsampap

5. Story
 Before the festival
 During the festival
 After the festival

6. Notification System
 First: only notification when it is going to rain
 More brainstorming: whole notification system

7. Notifaction System
 Properties:
 Guaranteed delivery
 Fast delivery and fast notice
 Posibility for personalization
 Existing notifications
 Smartphone (app, sms)
 Screens
 Speakers
 Social media
 Word of mouth
 Solution
 Wristband

8. Possible Notifications
 Rain
 Start of a certain performance
 Promo
 Evacuation
 GSM
 Alarm

9. Testing 1
 Purpose: time for noticing texts notifications
 Method: SMS -> time
 Rationale: night life ≈ festival
 Who: 6 students
 Where: night life Leuven

10. Testing 1
 Results
Group sms
Individual sms

11. Testing 1
 Conclusion
 Group vs individual
 Not conclusive
-> New testing method with less influence from me

12. Testing 2
 Purpose: time for noticing texts notifications
 Method: SMS (from elsewhere) -> time
 Rationale: night life ≈ festival
 Who: 7 (age 21-28)
 Where: night life Leuven

13. Testing 2
 Results
 Conclusion: large variation

14. Prototype
 Wristband
 Led lamp
 Vibration motor

15. Testing prototype
 Purpose: time for noticing notifications with prototype
 Method: start prototype -> time
 Rationale: video to disctract attention
 Who: 14 (age 19-51)
 Where: different places
 Results: 100% within 2 seconds
 Conclusion: Vibration of wristband is very effective

16. Testing: colors
 Purpose: how well do people remember colorcodes?
 Method: assign color to letter, remember letter
 Rationale: directly and a day later
 Who: 21 (age 19-51, internationals)
 Where: different places

17. Testing: colors
 Result:
 Conlcusion: guessing

18. Testing: colors 2
 Purpose: how well do people remember colorcodes when
the chose the codes themselves?
 Method: assign color to letter, remember letter
 Rationale: directly and a day later
 Who: 10 (age 22-29, internationals)
 Where: different places

19. Testing: colors 2
 Result:
 Conlcusion: better but not enough

20. Wrisband:
led lamp and vibrating
 Led -> already exists:
 Tomorrowland
 Xylobands
 Vibrating -> already exists:
 Zband
 fitbit
Coldplay
 Use existing technique for new purpose

21. Problems
 Remembering the colorcode
 How long should the notification stay on?
 Personalization
 Controlling the notifications
 Colorblind
 How can technology contribute to a notification system at
mass events?

22. Planning
 Januari: different notifications
 Februari-march: able to connect to wristbands
 20/3: sketch scientific paper
 23/3: presentation scientific paper
 May: personalized notifications
 End may: HCI-day
 22/5: scientific paper
 Start june: thesis
 End june: defense thesis

23. Papers
 TiNYARM

24. Questions?
