Abstract Details

2011, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Industrial, Interior Visual Communication Design.
This thesis investigates mobile wayfinding as an application, which proposes to assure efficient destination success and resource access. Currently, academic institutions are growing at a rapid rate and have underutilized resources due to limited visibility; mobile wayfinding can address some of these shortcomings. In large collegiate environments such as The Ohio State University, wayfinding systems appear to be lacking in clarity and location. It is my belief that in leveraging the current technology adoption trends there is a need for the development of a well-defined mobile wayfinding system—a system that offers the type of wayfinding and resource access experiences that college students really need. The research includes an audit of current mobile wayfinding and global positioning technology. An audit, along with design research, informed the construction of a methodology that can effectively frame a mobile wayfinding experience for college students.
