ABSTRACT
This paper presents the early findings of studies in the role of data informing the interaction between the user, the public and public display. It focuses on exploring how different strategies amplify and stimulate these data-supported interactions. Building on the work by Tomitsch et al [13], we establish a taxonomy for data-based features under the category of key elements in urban visualisations: 1) addressed topics, 2) input technologies, and 3) visualisation output. We analyse how factors facilitate social interactions meaningfully through case studies of previous projects implemented and developed by Media Architecture research community. We suggest that data properties and manifestation play a significant role in 1) sustaining attraction to passersby 2) enriching public understandings of display, and 3) encouraging diverse participation.

The Role of Tangible Interaction in Exploring Information on Public Visualization Displays
PerDis '15: Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Pervasive DisplaysA rising number of public displays are becoming equipped with tangible interfaces. Especially in the context of the visualization of data in the public realm, offering tangible interaction modalities might actively attract and engage passer-bys, and ...
Cross-device interaction with large displays in public: insights from both users' and observers' perspectives
OzCHI '17: Proceedings of the 29th Australian Conference on Computer-Human Interaction1Using a mixture of physical gestures and one's smartphone is a convenient way for people to engage and interact with large displays in public. Yet, one of the challenges of cross-device interactions is to design techniques that encourage participation. ...
