CURIOCITY CARDS

- HONOURS PROJECT -

Hostels are known to be fast-paced environments with frequent coming and going of tourists. What if there was a way to slow this down by designing a meaningful interaction that could assist backpackers in navigating around a new city they are unfamiliar with?

'Curiocity Cards' provide an effective approach to city exploration for tourists based in a hostel, through playful interactions that spark curiosity and prompts users to discover noteworthy points of interests in the city of Dundee, that can be shared and browsed for all to see and engage with.
