 Intended Experience

To raise awareness of the health implications

associated with short elevator journeys.
 Audience
• Teaching staff
• Building residents
• Building administration staff
• Students
 Ludic Lift
• Two Lifts • Lifts communicate with
• Each lift has its own each other through
Persona passengers
• Dating Couple • Voice-overs describe
• Engagement Changes the level of Engagement
with Floors Travelled with the Lifts
 Neenish Mirror
• Collective Output • Concave and Convex
• Visualises Lift Usage Visual Appearance
through a Digital Mirror

• Using sound to give the lift a Human persona
– Interaction between passenger and lift
– Interaction Between the two lifts
• Representation of the Collective Activity
Levels of the Building

 Current Considerations

Organisational
• Permission for Space
• Equipment hasn’t Arrived
• Consideration of disabled
bodies using the lift
Technical
• RFID Reader (ID-20) not
Functional at Distance
• Arduino has only 5 analog
inputs and 13 digital pins
