Overview
The WALC (Walking Around the Local Community) system — an incentivized walking system based on local currency programs — was designed for the CHI 2010 Student Design Competition. This community-level system uses portable progress tracking devices, an interactive city display, and community/business integration technologies. It is a unique collection of existing technology components and visual interaction linked by the personal carabiner device that will track the walking progress of the community participants.
