The Eco-mUNITY InterACT-a-Vision Station(s) (ISs) are kiosks that are fun, interactive, intuitive, and informative. Through this project, people at the main venue will be able to connect with the various VBC 10 project sites – learning more about how each community vision became a physical construction. Through sketches and photographs, videos, interviews, and write-ups of each site, a person will be able to see how each project is coming together, and how to get involved. Through asynchronous communication, people will be able to comment and give feedback about the sites through the InterACT-a-Vision Stations.
Since there are as many as 25 sites this year, it can be somewhat overwhelming to try to get into the details about any one site if all were to be presented alongside one another. Therefore, Eco-mUNITY will highlight approximately 3 sites per evening, with in depth video and information available on each one. Would you like to help make this happen? Volunteer for at least one shift of editing video, shooting video, interviewing, or photography: volunteer@eco-munity.com
Since it is also important for someone to be able to search and find other sites and features they are interested in (other than just the 3 highlighted ones), there will be a button taking that person to a page on the City Repair website listing the different sites, and allowing the person to search out particular features such as benches or cobb structures. There will also be an aspect of feedback where the kiosk user will be able to provide feedback about the kiosk experience and their VBC experience.
May 28th – June 6th
11 am – 1 pm: Video documentation, interviews, photos, etc. for at least 3 sites to be highlighted that evening.
2 pm – 6 pm: volunteer video editing and website coding for Eco-mUNITY Computer Kiosk project at VBC.
Each night at the venue, participants will be able to see up to date information on all 25 sites via links to the city repair website pages on each site. Eco-mUNITY will also highlight at least 3 sites each night with extra photos, interviews, and video footage. This will be accessible via the kiosks.
