eLabs - AtBristol - Final Project Video

The Final project promo video, M7. eLabs have been working with AtBrisol Science center this past year to create a new entry system, app and a media API for exhibits.

Here we have: Ewan Stanley, I'm in charge of Cloud Services. Hi, I'm Luke Storry, I'm the Interfaces Designer Alex Robinson, Project Manager. Ben Pye, Back-End Developer. Sam HIrd, Application Developer. Seamus, 1:10 Hi, my name's Seamus, I'm the Digital Producer here at AtBristol, I asked this team to come in and have a look at one of our problems, around our personalisation system that we have at AtBristol. For about 10 years now, we've had a personalisation system called ExploreMore, that relies on barcodes on wristbands to scan at exhibits, and you can take personalised content home from the exhibit. It's important to us that the entry process is as smooth and as fast as possible when you come in, because we have up to 2000 visitors a day, we can't have them standing around for a long time, it ruins their experience. We want them to be able to create an account, so when they get home they can immediately go on, and we can get a better conversion rate between the experience they have in here, and what they do online. Luke, 1:54 So, the new entry system that we've designed for AtBristol has lots of terminals around the lobby, for payment and booking. These concurrent booking stations really reduce queues. And then, once you've paid and booked, you then go to the front desk, where staff can quickly assign a set of wristbands to your group booking. So, this really reduces the amount of time required to print all the old wristbands, so much less time queueing, so visitors can spend more time having fun in the science center. Ben, 2:25 We are using RFID wristbands as they are more durable than the paper wristbands that AtBristol previously used. The RFID wristbands are also a new technology, which is fitting for the image of a science center. Activating the RFID wristbands is faster than printing barcodes, and the RFID wristbands can be customised with AtBristol's branding and advertising. Alex, 2:48 We have also written an exhibit API, which allows exhibits to upload media, which can then be accessed by our media system. The API is extensible, and can be used by future exhibits, and integrated with new features easily. We've documented the system very well, to allow AtBristol to extend this and use it and implement it as it currently is. Sam, 3:18 Another part of our system is an Android app that we've developed as a replacement for the old ExploreMore system. It uses an interactive, modern interface that follows the Material Design guidelines. Visitors can use this app to view media that they've created on the site, and share it on social media with their friends. Ewan, 3:37 Our system makes use of three main technologies: NodeJS, which is a common cross-platform programming language, which is also easy to maintain. For our backend, we use Firebase, which is essentially cloud storage and authentication, and it requires no on-site servers as this is handled by a third party. Finally we use native android for our media access app. Seamus, 3:58 So the eLabs team have been really great to work with, with us. It's been quite a different experience from the process that we go through to develop most, it's been much more about prototyping and quickly iterating over solutions. The way that the eLabs team have come at this has led us to get to a very very good solution, relatively quickly, and quite easily.
