Design-research project on eliciting repetitive curiosity in public spaces. This explorative research study focussed on curiosity: how can we make passers-by curious, and invite them for a short ‘walk-through-and-use’ interaction. As a research tool and proof-of-concept, six interactive speakers have been implemented: modular devices that respond to user activity (e.g. walking by or waving) with different sorts of auditory output.
