February 2004–December 2006
This project identified the need for effective and reliable methods for large-scale communication at MIT. Overwhelmed by campus communications such as e-mails, the abundance of campus posters, and the difficulty of wordof- mouth efforts, students are provided with an alternative means of experiencing public notices with DomeView. Using a series of electronic displays throughout the campus, DomeView allows its members to post and receive dynamic information about upcoming events and group activities. Postings are rotated on screens across campus on a timetable indicated by members. The system allows students to hear about cultural events, see updates from the Dean’s office, and even get alerts from Campus Police, stimulating a greater sense of community.
Student Participants: Harel Williams, John Velasco, Rose Grabowski, Kathryn Walter
