DigiView

Abstract

DigiView addresses the issue of the current inaccessibility of libraries digital collections and the fragmented user experience when exploring content across digital and physical spheres. Using an iterative design process including user journey maps, personas, roleplaying, prototyping and more to iterate a solution which best addresses the user's needs. The result was an interactive screen embedded into the bookshelves themselves, a natural extension to the physical space that allowed users to easily access the libraries digital collection. Beyond the screens users can also curate and share content to support instead of replace libraries as community hubs. DigiView effortlessly combines the physical with the digital sphere to enhance serendipitous discovery.
