For assignment 2, my group is looking into ‘wayfinding,’ which is the method of directing people and helping them find their way to a destination. My initial ideas about wayfinding is that it is not just about signs, because the signage around RMIT, for example is great. But there are still areas of RMIT which are difficult to navigate. Some ideas that came up in research were more contemporary, such as the use of lights and projections to direct people and define spaces, which I think would be useful in areas like building 8, 10 and 12, which are all joined together. It can be difficult to know exactly which building you are in.

I like the idea of interactive directories also. Directories that change depending on what is happening that day. Different events are outlined etc. Also it could have a system that tells you which classes and lectures are happening at the time and where.
