Due to the high influx of people walking across the foyer and the level of knowledge they have with multi-touch screens, we have made the multi-touch easy and fast to use for all audiences. The users can navigate the screen with simple touches. And a simple touch on each image will display the article headline, story and other tags.
World Browser is an interactive multi-touch display application, which allows the user to read about news presented in the media by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). This application provides the user with a different experience to viewing and reading the news in a more visual and image based browser, compared to a website.
The application explores the scale and depth of news in the world, by geographically positioning news articles against a world map, which enables the user to become more aware of news in a global capacity.
