Design Requirements

Google’s technologies will be incorporated in a variety of ways. First and foremost, the OK Google function from Google Home is incorporated. Expanding on this, I would use the Voice Actions API from Google to complete these tasks. This would work in conjunction with the Google’s Soli which is a Google ATAP that can detect touchless gesture interactions. This would help people select various memory capsules from the wall without needing to touch the wall and dirty the glass.

As people pass through the bridge, they are able to passively or actively interact with the environment. Passively speaking, employees and East Liberty residents will get to experience the lighting up of various LED circles with Google Colors. These circles are triggered as people walk through the walls, thus creating a passive interaction. On the other hand, those who want to interact with the display can do so and take a break from work. While interacting with the display, employees can learn about the history around them and dive into stories, almost as if they a post from a Facebook page. This experience should be fun and “joyous” for passerby both employees and East Liberty residents. Because of the passive nature of the experience should also be non-intrusive.
