Abstract / Description of output
The Tourist’s city is defined by two extremes: the static cultural centres, including museums and galleries, and the dynamic flow of people and traffic. Digital technology has the potential to connect the flow of traffic that passes cultural centres with the tourists who are interested in seeking out all that a city has to offer. Treasure Trapper is a locative-media-platform that integrates Lothian Buses API providing time/GPS of Tourist buses travelling across the city, with artefacts from Edinburgh Museums & Galleries and Assembly Rooms. Tourists and locals are able to use a smart phone app to follow objects across the city, capture them and return them to venues boosting tourist footfall.
