Wayfinding study task 1

For our first study task we made a video in a group looking at how people move in spaces and how the react to signs in those spaces and how their movement changes. 

For the video we needed to create:

-an obstruction

-create a new connection

-create a diversion

In our video we tested how people would react to our wayfinding methods, we tried to make people have to stop and thing quickly on their feet, in our society we have signs we all know and follow and so to mix this up gave us a few surprised reactions. We created a few obstructions in our video and watching peoples reactions to this was interesting as pretty much everyone goes around the obstruction. We have it programmed into us that we must follow a sign if it tells us to do something. It was very interesting to see how people followed our signs even though they were extremely makeshift.
