Help us test the new navigation system for Prague
The Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) project introduces a smart navigation system for the streets and the public transport, which will improve everyday life in the city, whether you are moving around on your own, choosing a mode of transport or a combination of both.
To make sure the new system serves everyone well, we need to test its functionality with different sorts of users, whether they are working people, children, students, people with reduced mobility, the elderly or even tourists.
UX designer Dominika Potužáková, designers and researchers from Stride XL are exploring the user experience, inclusivity and accessibility of the features of Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) in real life.
More information about the project and the public survey can be found here: Prague integrated transport.
You can test the new system with us too!
In order to design the navigation system for all people, without distinction, we need to understand your needs fully. That's why we would like to invite you to collaborate with us on the design of a new navigation system in our metropolis.
And you can help us with it too! All you have to do is fill out a questionnaire, by means of which we can reach out to you for a 90-minute interview*, to get valuable feedback on how the new wayfinding system works. Selected participants will be rewarded with a voucher for 700 CZK* and the opportunity to be the ones who have helped to make Prague more legible for all the people who move around in it, including you personally.
*Note: interview with children and parents takes 60 minutes and will be rewarded with a voucher for 500 CZK.
How will the interview take place?
The testing has been taking place at Palmovka metro station, where passengers have been orienting themselves according to the new features for several months.
During a collective walk around, we walk with selected users all the way from the platform to the surface and back.
We will simulate situations that people experience on a daily basis and observe their reactions to the features of the new information system installed at Palmovka.
After this walk, we have a detailed discussion with them to understand the clarity, legibility and functionality of the new system.
