WEEK 2 || Problem Proposal
Main Idea:
Improving entertainment experience when you take transport
in Melbourne
Because it always takes long to wait especially when you
miss the train/tram during not busy period in suburb (usually 30 minutes).
Find some way to get funny and get some more friends with
you
Hope entertainment
infrastructure can help people find another way to deal with the boring and
tried time

(2)Challenge need to design different entertainments for different
kinds of transport for example, bus stops are really close
for those who take a long time on transport need something
like tv shows
Too crowed on the transport
and people even don’t have place to stand (cannot play games)
(3)Opportunity
People always play their phones when waiting or boarding the transport
which means there is need for us to design sth to help
For example: (But not everyone use iPhone so we need to
adjust…)
Apple Imessage game
Specifically, to send challenges, users can tap the App
Store icon within iMessage, and then tap the menu button to see the
iMessage-compatible games they have installed. Once a user taps a game’s icon,
they can take their first turn and send the challenge to their contact.
While playing games
in iMessage, users will send game-specific messages back and forth as they
complete their turns. When a user receives a gameplay message, they can tap the
message to open the game’s interface and take their turn.
Users can complete entire games
without leaving the iMessage app, and they can continue chatting with their
contacts as normal in between turns. Users can also have multiple active games
in a single conversation.
