Cities that are easy to walk around are friendlier, safer, and more human.

Legible Vienna (based on the Legible London concept) is a new pedestrian wayfinding system to help people walk around the Capital. Legible Vienna signs feature detailed maps of the local area with five and fifteen minute walking circles to show the neighbourhoods and destinations within easy reach. By providing better quality pedestrian information it will encourage more people to walk, and help them find their destinations quickly and easily.

The aim is to enhance people’s understanding and experience of the city. This is achieved through a mix of analogue and digital information, transportation and identity projects, including a directional sign system featuring both city and area maps, printed walking maps, visitor information, identity projects and public art schemes.

A project in kind partnership with Tim Fendley from the Applied Information Group (AIG) London, who came up with the original concept for Legible London, developed the prototype and has evolved the system further in several cities.

Especially in complex production environments as the automotive industry is, acessibility, quick perception and understanding of data and processes are key factors. Information design offers a toolkit for clear messages in presentations, for structure and usability in documentation and for visualisation of key performance indicators. First seminars are held within the Automotive Academy Vienna Region.

Space-x will investigate the contribution of information design to make space more accessible and enjoyable for visually impaired people. This design approach must fulfill the requirements of functionality but at the beyond that space-x introduces the aspect of aesthetis in barriere-free design. The space experience of public space, private space, work environment, public transport and sports will be approached by an intercultural East-West perspective and is an exchange forum in kind cooperation with the Austrian Relief Organisation for Visually Impaired, the Japan Sign Design Association (JSDA) and the Japanese Society for the Science of Design (JSSD).

Meeting the basic requirements of readability and orientation for partilly sighted, the Design-4-VIP approach goes further by targeting on an aesthetic execution, as a language of beauty .

The example of an on-the-fly kit, offered in various designs, consisting of severeal elements like big numbers, stair-marking-strips, toilette-symbols, stickers to indicate glass-barriers and coffee-cup-coasters demonstrates how an environment can be made barrierefree and accessible in an appealing and attractive style for normal and partially sighted people.

As it is not only the challenge to but also the obligation of designers to offer joy, pleasure by beauty.

NewsCab: Online informations system for taxi passengers.

This is a best practice case for an information system that provides traveller information to taxi customers. NewsCab shifts the focus from “transport” to “mobility” since it was designed form a travellers point of view and aims to enhance the travel experience. NewsCab - an installed screen in the front headrests - is an information as well as an entertainment system that brings real time information to the taxi traveller no matter where the taxi is. NewsCab has the potential to become a linkage for multimodal mobility concepts by providing travellers with the necessary information to make better decision on travelling options, and linking scheduled and on-demand mobility systems. The presentation will also give first experiences and learnings and will outline new perspectives of upcoming applications in public transport systems.
