Scenario 2 MICRO Dongdaemun Design Plaza I decide to visit the venue @DDP. At the entrance, I get a gift from the museum. It is a wearable device that helps me interact with others in the museum. I connect my phone to the device and start exploring the museum. I notice that the longer I stay and observe an exhibition the brighter the lights become. While I am walking through the Design Pathway, my lights become white which is a signal that someone that is within 12 feet has observed the same exhibitions and lasted approximately the same time on some of them. I decide to approach him to discuss what he thought about those exhibitions.

In this scenario, the data of locations is filtered adding another layer of information. The device not only collect the GPS locations but it also maps the time the user took to observe the pieces in the museum. With the layer of time, we can measure if what the user is looking at is just something that caught his attention in a short time or if it is something more than just superficial glance giving more depth to the shared interests of individuals.
