Point of Information is a Building Navigation System designed to act as a catalyst, helping to inform the communities (educational, business) within the office buildings. Additional functional requirements include new visitors safety briefing, internal advertisements and navigational plan instructions through the building.
The project brings various technologies together. It combines computer animations, 3D modeling, and search-ability of the database text and administration functionality of the Content Management System in order to deliver the bespoke application and fulfill the requirements of the Point of Information System.
The system displays information about the building with the option of a commentary for visually impaired visitors. A large plasma screen in the reception informs people of the diverse role that a particular building performs through a series of graphical presentations and user interactions. In One Central Park it follows a logical storyline of the building as a place of enterprise, training and opportunity.
The system presents information in a succinct fashion and can be interrupted at anytime, allowing users to browse any part of the timeline to learn more about their immediate environment.
Point of Information System is a source of information for visitors, welcoming them and providing directions to particular rooms or essential details such as emergency exits. Moreover, daily users of the building will develop a better understanding of their immediate surroundings.
The main advantages of the system are:
- Easy administration
- Updating information by the companies using the system
- Control over the presentation (time and content)
- Search function
- Visual representation of the building allowing for navigation
- Presenting building facilities
