Abstract :
This paper introduces Sapporo World Window, a screen-based application that is currently under development for the new underway passage at the centre of Sapporo City. There are ten large public screens installed in the space, displaying user-generated videos about various aspects of the city and a real-time map that visualises users´ interaction with the city. The application aims to engage the general public by functioning as a unique `point of connection´ for socio-cultural and technological interactions, making the space a lively social place where people can have meaningful experiences of interacting with people and places of Sapporo through mobile phones (keitai) and the public screens in the space. This paper first outlines the contextual background and key concept for the application´s design. Then the paper discusses the user interaction processes, technical specifications, and interface design, followed by the conclusions and outlook.
