Research / Group 4

A Beginning－Find topic

The topic we set is going to find somewhere in the campus. Our destination is “Design Square”, which is at the 3^rd floor in the T2 building.

B Looking for the questions and find out the sticking point

Our teammate, Arthur, who has been to NTUST for twice. But he doesn’t know where is “Design Square”. He tried to find it by original signs without any suggestion or hints.

After A-E-I-O-U model planning, we found each situation at each node(place, point) which will make people confused, then we provide some solutions and trying to implement.

C Solution-1

1/ put the sign on the edge of road.

2/ put a clearer sign instead of original ones to point the stairs(next to the toilet one).

Result:

1/ The signs are too flat to notice them.

2/ People can’t know the direction by these sign.

D Solution-2

1/ Make the signs in the three dimensional.

2/ Use the shape of arrowhead instead of circle.

The implement result is….

The passer-bys blank the map on the floor.

He only concentrates on his food and ignore the signs...

And, he doesn’t notice the sign of stairs….. ^ ^”

What else??

This guy can’t find the sign of stairs, too. = =”

Result:

1/ They can’t find the sign of each building’s name, especially T2.

2/ Actually, the signs on the edge are too low to see.

CONCLUTION

So far, that’s what we done in these few days. Actually, we made another option for users, there is a QR-code label on the map at the front gate since beginning , you can see the map on mobile device or tablet PC. It is useful, but not much. Now, our next step is trying to design a more comprehensive system by cell phone or tablet PC……………..

……….coming soon.
