ABSTRACT
During recent years public displays relying on new types of display technologies have made their way to the city scene. In this paper, we present a concept that combines tangible interfaces with such ubiquitous urban interaction. We set out to create a tangible connection between different cities and employed an experience-driven design process towards our concept called 'Who's There?'. We evaluated the concept by using a cardboard prototype with a group of fifteen users in a busy market square, where it generated considerable engagement and discussion with members of the public.
