Abstract(s)
Urban computing systems impact quality of life in densely populated areas.
With the widespread availability of wireless networks and portable devices, ur ban areas are fast becoming a hybrid of the physical environment and the digital
datasphere. This paper describes Yasmine’s Adventures, a location aware story telling platform that leverages on urban computing strategies to create an inter active walk through the Mehringplatz area, surrounding the Jewish Museum in
Berlin. Yasmine’s Adventures (YA) is a mobile application that delivers a se quence of animations clips tailored specifically to the Mehringplatz neighbour hood. The story follows an adventurous local girl as she walks home alone, vis iting local landmarks. Yasmine’s perceptions of the landmarks, identified by
community members in an earlier workshop, reflect the real concerns of the
community. This interactive experience was created to engage visitors of the
Jewish Museum to explore the relatively neglected streets of the area in which
the museum is situated.
