SPEAKERS CORNER
dialogue between the street, the web and people's mobile phones
From "Interactive Street Interface" by Jaap De Jonge: Speakers Corner is a 15 metre long interactive LED text display fixed to the outside of The Media Centre in Huddersfield. Running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Speakers Corner will display a wide range of content, information and news, providing entertainment and services to people using The Media Centre and the local area.
Users can interact with content on the screen in three ways by sending a text message, by using the phone booth outside The Media Centre which converts speech into text, or by adding comments from the web at www.speakerscorner.org.uk. Users' comments are then archived in the database and sent to the display, building a dialogue between the street, the web and people's mobile phones.
