2. the Olympic challenge
"The fantastic achievements of our Paralympic team at the
Beijing Games have surpassed the country's wildest
expectations, adding to the pride we all felt watching Team
GB reel in their haul of medals last month. They have
delivered for us - now we must deliver for them, and for all
disabled Londoners and visitors.
"I want everyone who comes to London to enjoy every aspect
of their stay, including Paralympians, disabled spectators and
anyone who may have difficulty moving around the capital.
That means ensuring a wide choice of accommodation and
places to visit.
"So I urge all London businesses, including shops,
restaurants and hotels, to start thinking now about how they
can make their services as accessible as possible in time for
the 2012 Games.”
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London

9. adding in augmented reality
• Since original concept of AccessCity, augmented reality technology has
taken off and provides an ideal platform for the development of AccessCity
rapidly and cost effectively
• AccessCity to develop augmented reality iPhone app based on existing
proven app ‘WorkSnug’ aimed at helping mobile workers navigate cities
and find appropriate touchdown spaces to work

10. search: find accessible…
• Search user generated reviews of venues, hotels and other points of
interest in and around London from ‘people like me’
• Strong starting point based on existing London data sets – Transport for
London (tube station locations and access information), Visit London
(venue information) and DirectGov’s “Blue Badge Map”

11. way finder: most accessible routes
“how do I get from A
to B via the most
accessible route?”

12. what’s going on right now?
• Live buzz on what’s happening at a given moment in time
• Alerts to problems/changes of service/events to attend
• User generated content providing context to ‘formal’ data from
London government and other organisations

13. accesscity: getting the word out
• Ensure ease of
engagement with site
through web, mobile and
alternate communication
channels

project team’s network to
reach out to active
members of the community
to become involved

gaming options
