Urban Cursor: GPS seating facilitates social interaction in public spaces
Displayed during the cultural festival Ingravid, Catalunya (Spain), the “Urban Cursor” is a GPS-enabled bench or seating that allows social interaction in public spaces. The brainchild of Danish designer Sebastian Campion, the 3D computer cursor can be moved around as an on-screen computer pointer and keep in touch with the digital world through an embedded GPS device. The cursor passes on its geographic coordinates to a website so it can be mapped in Google Maps, which documents the cursor’s movements in the physical world and lets the participants watch their activities in the digital world. More pics follow after the jump.
