Being inspired by the projects and amazing living lab activities we encounter on a daily basis, we decided to give more visibility to exceptional cases by opening a friendly competition where ENoLL members submit one project they have worked on in the past year. By collecting these living lab work examples we aim to highlight hands on case studies that can be inspiring source for all who are following the thirteen+ year old community’s past, present and want to be part of a shared future. The collection of the cases also shows how diverse and overarching the ENoLL community is and through the competition we can see how many people all over the world are interested in Living Lab activities.
In the third edition of the Living Lab Projects voting, which was opened during the month of March, we received more than 1300 votes, from countries in South and North America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. All projects in the competition generated substantial buzz on social media and other channels, which reflects in the high numbers of votes that these projects received. The projects from this year’s edition will be published in a book, to continue to gain attention across communication channels and events throughout the year.
Congratulations to the top three projects with the highest number of votes:
CAPTAIN aims to develop a smart, personalised digital home assistant that will support older adults in their everyday life activities. CAPTAIN uses projected tangible interface and state-of-the-art technologies for monitoring aiming to provide friendly user interface for older adults while collecting valuable data that will drive coaching activities.
Eyedius mobile solutions is a service that helps you manage access controls, intercom, field tasks, tour controls & services inside or outside your work zones. The aim of this project is to eliminate the old technology devices such as RFID cards, readers, reader cables and similar contact based devices in order to make the use of our smartphones and tablets more efficient.
The project is a joint initiative of the University of Granada and the Local Government to address the challenges generated by the tourism pressures in the historical neighbourhoods of Albaicín and Sacromonte. Eight labs, open to participation of residents and stakeholders, were organised to design innovative solutions to promote sustainable tourism. Results include good practices guides and the resolution of neighbourhoods problems.
