Design for Vitality
AREA 51 is an indoor skatepark where athletes do sports and visitors watch. This place is renovated and ready to become a popular place. However, at this moment, the interaction between the visitors and the athletes is not there. So, this interaction needs to be enhanced by innovation. We, students from this course, took the opportunity to design something for this challenge. We designed ‘Skate Cam’, a camera which is controlled by the visitors and makes pictures of the athletes. The visitors can push a button and make photos of the athletes in action. By viewing these photos on screens in AREA 51, everyone can see the pictures. In this way, we hope to improve the interaction between visitors and athletes and the overall experience of AREA 51.
