HobsonCard is an alarm clock that imposes a specified consequence (for instance, finding a random outgoing SMS in your phone’s archive and tweeting it to the world) if you fail to swipe into your designated subway station before a certain time each weekday morning. See here.

Mini’s quick indie project
My quick indie project is a project from Urban Fiction class in the Spring of 2013. It is called Change the Story and it main goal is to bring awareness about the street harassment on the street and creating a community of supporters who will not blame the women or the men being abused, but will take an action to change the story of the person being harassed. Street harassments happen often in the subway platform and I think it is important to tell the story so that people will feel empathetic and change their view on the topic.

Sunnie – Quick Indie Project
As “sick customers” and “holding doors” cause the most train delay, I want to solve the problem from understanding the reason behind people’s behavior and design a public interface to pre-inform people before they hop on the subway. The aspects I took are from the previous project “Urban Fiction” – using data to understand behavior and solve problems, and the data is reference from the MTA Workshop. Also, interaction/information design to improve service efficiency and behavioral change is a potential direction of my thesis project.

The Concept:
Reconceptualization of a collab mid-term Physical Computing project – Kanari, a wearable that detects pollution in context of the NYC subway system. Adapting sensor technology within subway platforms and subway cars to sense odor in the immediate space to sense and callibrate a neutral air state for a more pleasant mass transit commute.
