Homer is a UCI freshman from Victorville, CA. There were only a couple hundred students in his senior class, so campus can feel a little overwhelming now that he’s one of more than 6,000 freshmen. He’s joined the ultimate frisbee team, which has been a good experience, but he wants to get more involved. He likes soccer, hiking, and video games. Sometimes a flyer along one of the walkways will catch his eye, but there’s always so many people that it’s too hard to read. Plus, he tends to oversleep, so he’s usually rushing to class.
He just heard that UCI recently installed new touch screens on the tables at the Student Center to display all the flyers from around campus. Apparently you can send things of interest to your phone in case you you want to add an event to your calendar or follow up with the contact person. He’s interested to see how they work.
Hi Joseph: I love your low-fi illustration and it seems like a decent size of the screen with multiple flyer displays make sense to represent the amount of information that can happen on campus and also value users like Homer who has focused interests and is concerned about being overwhelmed. I wish we have walls of these screens so we can display all media in interactive forms, but resources are limited. 🙁
