The design goal: Make young locals appreciate their city again, by discovering it in a more analogue and social way
The interaction vision:Immersing in an engaging book with your friends under your blanket, while you are actually expected to sleep.
We are Delft
“We are Delft” is a service, which triggers young locals to explore their city, by receiving and giving recommendations for lesser-known places, based on shared interest groups, which are defined by the place the recommendation is given. Therefore the involved users place physical recommendations (stickers, Figure5 below) for lesser-known places at their favourite spots. The recommendation is 1. nudging the locals to consider going to new places, 2. they get an idea of how many interesting places their city offers, and 3. also gives them a feeling as being part of a nice community within the city. This should ideally make them recognize this newly explored place, discover a new side of the “old” city and ideally make them appreciate their city again.
