The big idea: identifying problem spots and dangerous areas in specific areas based on lighting, people, etc for users to avoid. A 'red-flagging' idea to prevent users going through areas that they may find inditimating or where there may have been repeated crimminal activity
Context of use: For 'out of towners', people exploring new parts of their local area, parents of school age children, the elderly and vulnerable
Set up by: the met or the council
The data would be collated, and then inputted into the virtual environment either manually or using a special programme.
Currently, street maps have been sent out to a small sample group of 9 participants.
Ideally, a website would be set up with an interactive 3D map for users to signpost their trouble spots without the need for a 3rd party to have to go through it.
Progression: The majority of maps have not yet been returned. What needs to happen next is that the data needs to be respresented in the 3D environment, and made interactive using flash.
