E-PASS Conceptual Idea

 

 

 

IMPRINTS Project behind the wristband- how the system support wristband

IMPRINTS Project Prototype And Framework of the video

The small squares are the pins which might contain the boarding information and map of airport, ideally it could connect with the wristband and then transfer the boarding information into the wristband.

The pictures below is the framework of the video. I might use green screen and photoshop to deal with the user-interface of the wristband.

IMPRINTS Project Paper Prototype And Framework of the booklets

Cross stitch wristband idea, the wristband would replace the original passport. And owner’s bio metric information  would contain in the wristband. And the pin could have some relative information about flight and airport such as boarding information, update flight information and airport information. What passengers need to do when they go thought each stage is just offer their bio metric information and then verify the wristband, when the biometric information in wristband and the passenger’s match each other, passenger could pass the stage.

The sketch is the framework for the booklet. It compares what’s the different  when a international student go thought airport system without the wristband and with the wristband. The booklet is for the final exhibition.

IMPRINTS Project Visual rough idea

Mainly combining RFID technology and passengers biometric information, replace the original passport and boarding pass. After talking with Sandra, She suggested me to make the wristband more personalized to each individual, and what i need to do in next stage is to make something physical and functional.

IMPRINTS Project Prototyping Data Analysis

This is the data analysis of verification. On the left side is A to F, 6 international students’ choice. In order to measure those different verification methods, the methods at top could get 9 Points, and last one could get 1 Point. The bar chat at right side is the score every method got. There are comments from participants at up right side.

This second picture is the information I got for the test of the wristbands. In each stage it reflect both identity needs and personalize needs. At right side, comments are from interviewees.

IMPRINTS Project Prototyping 2.0

Prototyping

Based on the technology already exist, a product could  combine some identity methods, passengers only need to carry one wrisband which might have the information of boarding pass, passport and so on.

Instructions of prototyping：

1) Verification

list the methods in order from 1 to 10 which is most suitable for you.

2) Wristband

check in→security→waiting→boarding→flying→landing→luggage collection→custom

Based on each of the stages, pick up the information you think is most relevant.

Test prototyping with participants:

1) The small blue cards are the verification methods. Participants would be asked give a order of those methods from the easiest acceptable to unacceptable method. The reason to do those is to get the feedback from passengers about different verification, and the most convenient way might be used in the wristband verification in the development of the project.

2) Participants go through each stage of airport system, and pick up the relevant information they need in different stage. And then participants would be asked to explain why the information they think is important.

The reason doing this rough prototype, is by making a physical object to discuss and the potential outcome with the international students. In the next stage of the project, data i got would be analysed, and create a personas and scenario to make the project be understood.

 

IMPRINTS Project Summary 1.4 Data Analysis

This A3 sheet is the data i collected from the interviews. The red circles are positive and blue one is negative experience. In order to make the data more well organized and persuaded. Several charts have been drawn to explain the information.

The chart has been separated into 10 sections. It is quiet easy to tell that the stages of  check in, security and custom have more negative experience.

The red zones are the sections which would we must show the identity.

Those are the opinions from passengers in each stage.

After sharing the data analysis with Dr Sandra Wilson, we separated those I got several directions to choose, one is that he number of piece of evidence about passengers’ identity they need to carry. And the rest of the problems are general some service problem, and I might bring some rough ideas with me and go back to my focus group(international students) and see how do they feel about the prototyping.

Those are the identity touch points passengers normally meet in airport system. And we can tell some certificates would been showed several times in different stage. In order to find more about the relative information, I have done some literature review.

The BioP@ss project (http://www.biopass.eu/)

“The BioP@ss project, funded through the EUREKA micro-electronics cluster MEDEA+, has developed advanced chip cards and embedded software for next-generation biometrics-enhanced passports and identity cards as well as access to pan-European public services. Contactless card scanning and very high speed data interfacing will reduce queues at airports and frontier posts while boosting European security. The technology will improve passengers safety while reducing government administration costs and simplifying access to public pan-European electronic services for citizens. The elements are already being incorporated in systems to meet air travel security standards from 2014.” ( From http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/10/111014104409.htm)

This project is quite technological, what i’ll do is that understand this project, it might help   me to support the project’s future developing. And in the meantime my supervisor Dr Sandra Wilson suggested me that to go back to my focus group again, maybe bring some really rough ideas with me and see how do the participates feel about it.

IMPRINTS Project Summary 1.3 feedback of the questionnaires Map the experience in airport.

Several  interviews have been done, i got lots of general views but the questions still too wide, i got lots of information about the system. However, it’s various directions. In order to make it more direct,  Dr Sandra Wilson who is my expert recommended me to keep the format and change the question into how do passengers feel about the identity sections in the airport system. And I re-organized the stages. Ask interviews which stage they need to show their id, what kind of id they would show, and how do they feel about the identity technology the airport is using. And then i made the board below, in the further research, it might be put in the airport cafe or waiting area  for collecting information.
