SOCIAL INTERACTION
another way to spend the travel time
Visualization of the concept – the addition of the game to the funicular system, creates interaction between the passengers. This new system intends to promote the interaction between passengers during their trip inside the cabin.

ABSTRACT
WHY
The project’s aim is to use the ropeway not only for transportation or to view panoramas but also to make it a local attraction.
WHAT
During the travel and especially when the two cabins are about to meet while going in opposite directions, a game between the two begins.
The people on the inside of the cabins become members of two teams which compete against each other.
​
HOW
In order to make the game work, the glass facing the cabin on the opposite side will be a transparent and interactive display. The games which would be available, are timing games, this means that the team which first completes the race with the best results, would win a pass to another round of the game. Unlike the traditional funicular system, the ropeway would be also used to play the game at night, this way the ropeway becomes a real attraction, both in the context in which the transportation is functional, as well as in the context where it is used to view a panorama. The game can be played unexpectedly, for brief moments during daytime, making it all surprising and fun while also advertising the event which takes place in the evenings. This new system intends to promote the interaction between passengers, this way they will find team spirit and enjoy the whole experience even more.
