Gelatine is an interaction design research
that design a system including (i) user profile website and database (ii) Checkin
Points (iii) Public Screen Application (ix) Thermal Printer. It facilitates peer collaboration, peer inspiration
and cross- pollination of skills and creativity in public libraries and
co-working space. The system provide a website for users to create personal
profile. When one ‘check in’ at a workspace, Gelatine will display one’s
information such as skills, interest, and needs of currently show on a public
screen and also print out from printer. People could check the screen or
printer to know their co-worker or search for some help. It encourages people
in working space to get more interaction with their peers.
Process
Gelatine clearly describes how they find
out the unnatural situation social learning, inspiration and collaboration
between coworkers. So they design a system to increasing the exposedness of
coworkers’ information. It demonstrates how to use the profile information on public
space and create the interaction between people.
Invention
Gelatine use digital information and device
into our social life, and actually could arouse more inspiration and opportunities
happened in coworking space. It is an invention that introduces digital device
system into a working space as a social learning device. It combine with
profile website, a check in system, printer and a screen to browse. Gelatine creates
a new ability to interactive design into normal social life.
Relevance
Gelatine articulates the preferred state
their design attempts to achieve, which is to create a coworking space that
more and more cross- pollination
of skills and creativity. It inspires the environment’s real potential from present
situation of user’s unaware
of and uninspired by using this system. And through their design practice we
can see it really have changes in the coworking space.
Extensibility
For
the public or coworking space like this case shows, Gelatine
could be a demonstration that makes people easier to knowing others or ice
breaking. Especially in a new working space, it hard for people know so much people
while it would be a pity that wastes such a treasure.
Gelatine like some kind of physical forum,
which share information and has it social functionality. However, unlike traditional
online forum, it real practice in space and encore people meets and interacts
with their coworker face to face. And it would make it different from existing social
network system, and become a customize system that suit for specific working space.
