Rather, the subject of translocal mediated connection is an <strong>opportunity space<\/strong>! I seek to design a response that \u201caugment[s] and enhance[s] practice in new ways\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/1147261.1147269\">Hornecker et al., 2006<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within that frame, it&#8217;ll almost definitely be a creative probe or a workshop\u2014one where <strong>I will be making things with other people.<\/strong> I will also be leveraging my skills as a web developer, interaction designer, and creative generalist in some manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, some design ideas did surface from the survey data, and I&#8217;ve been keeping a running log of all these ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>An annotatable map where participants can mark emplaced experiences and send them to each other. There could be a creative element such as the ability to upload one\u2019s own images, draw directly on the map, or place stickers on the map.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Maps tours, docs &#8211; a way to see where the other person is on Google Maps&#8230;but this runs into the issue of privacy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A platform for people to &#8220;design&#8221; a village together and add their own accents cumulatively &#8211; things don&#8217;t disappear every session. But with temporal limitations, lest it becomes unreadably chaotic too quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An accumulative platform in which users participants may decorate a virtual page or canvas, write messages to each other, and perform actions within the space (rather than simply a collaborative whiteboard, but it can be inspired by a collaborative whiteboard). Possible features could include stickers, drawing, and varied artefacts that behave differently. Build a drag\/drop site together? [One possible manifestation that I&#8217;ve done &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/place.circlejourney.net\/experiment1\">Animal Forum<\/a>]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A collaborative storytelling toolkit, TTRPG, or something, that&#8217;s designed specifically to be used online.
