@aGlance
The @aGlance team is back at Skanderborg Festival.
Even more technologies as well as people are involved in the experiments. This year, for example, the Camping area at FØLA is, among others, included in the great experiment.
The reactions so far are positive.
“When I was first introduced to the ideas I was sceptic, but now when I can see it working I can also see it really helps!”, one of the camping managers says.
The system he refers to enable camping guards and managers to communicate about
and coordinate the camping area e.g. free spaces, broken fences, grey areas re legal installations, tents that need to be removed, etc.
“One picture can explain the challenges in short. At the same time we can share it and everybody can see where the problem is”, he explains.
A camping guard from a camping area without the new technologies passes by and exclaims;
- This is a great system – I missed that yesterday at Sølund…
It seems the @aGlance technoliges have again hit the spot
Learning by doing – this year also at Roskilde Festival
The @aGlance technologies are now installed at Roskilde Festival 2011 – it’s a great opportunity for us to develop our ideas and get new experiences conducting new experiments.
For a brief introduction to our work watch the video below from SmukFest 2010

Background @aGlance
The threefold vision of @aGlance is summarized in the table below. Read more about our approach.
Perspective
Our project process has a long term perspective and tries at each event (e.g. the Skanderborg Festival each August and 2011 also Roskilde Festival):
- to support the ongoing emergency response work (Use)
- to experiment with new prototypes for later use (Experiments)
- to generate new ideas for later developments and experiments.
As illustrated in the figure below, the ideal process is:
- What is a good idea in one year
- becomes prototypes used for experiments the second year
- and is taken into use the third
