Embedded interaction in a water fountain for motivating behavior change in public space

Abstract: This paper presents an interactive installation for a public space aimed at motivating new behaviors by augmenting the space with subtle and playful audiovisual interaction aesthetically integrated in a shared environment. Designed to complement an existing water fountain with projected light and sound, the embedded installation encouraged people to take a drink, increasing the proportion of people who used the water fountain by 42% to 57% approximately for nine months. Sensors evaluated the impact of multiple… Show more

“…The evidence gained from the cited research was used to assess potential policy impact. [174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182][183][184][185] For this policy, the Evidence Quality Score was 28 and the Public Health Impact Score was 15. This result placed the impact of ensuring clean water access at the community level in the category of promising quality.…”

“…Although Touché [14] enables the detection of gestures performed in water and in air, it was not designed to provide gesture-related positional data. Gurgle [15] is a public space that augments an existing water fountain with watery reflections and sound to motivate change in human behavior.…”

“…Fatigue attributed to gestural movements in air and on surfaces has been identified as an issue that requires investigation [8]- [11] This study introduces GestureTank, a tangible user interface that enables interaction in a volume of water. A unique feature of this study is that it treats a volume of water as a three-dimensional (3D) interaction space, in contrast to previous studies [12]- [15], which have concentrated on interactions in air (using various body parts or walking movements) or on the surface of a volume of water. The GestureTank detects the 3D positions of objects (e.g., feet and hands) inserted in water and detects seven gestures performed by the human foot.…”
