It was decided to make participation free, so that it is and remains attractive for users. To finance the project, DrawYourWay will be sold for 5999.99 euros to waiting station for public transport. This price was created by doing the price of the Component/Material about 5 times. In this way, the labor cost can also be recovered in the long term. We work together with companies for the rewards. Companies can promote their brand on the platform. In exchange for promoting their brand, they sponsor the rewards for the daily/weekly winners. |

| | The tests were conducted on a computer located in the ISEP classroom. This machine simultaneously served as both the frontend and backend server for the users. Its specifications were as follows: a 3.2 GHz Intel Pentium G3250 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and Windows 10 as the operating system. |

| ==== - Summary ==== | ==== - Summary ==== |
| The DrawYourWay project is an interactive public art platform aimed at transforming idle commuter time in metro stations into moments of creativity and engagement. It enables users to create digital drawings using their own mobile devices or tablets and project them onto large public walls in real-time, encouraging public participation and community interaction. The idea stemmed from the team’s shared interest in digital art and was developed through collaborative brainstorming and design thinking sessions. | During the development of the prototype, several adjustments were made compared to the original design to simplify the process and stay within the available budget, while still ensuring that the core functionalities could be demonstrated. |
| | |
| | Regarding the structure, some practical decisions were taken. The protective case for the projector was not produced, as it was not essential for showing the system’s operation during testing. Additionally, modifications were made to the tablet’s protective case: instead of using ABS, PLA was used. While PLA has lower mechanical and chemical resistance, it was a good alternative for the prototyping phase. Furthermore, the prototype version of the tablet case excluded holes for wall and table mounting, cable openings, and clamps since these were unnecessary for this stage. To speed up production, the case was printed in two parts and then glued together, which slightly reduced the quality of the finish but made the process more efficient. |
| |
| Technologically, the platform integrates QR code interaction, drawing tools, and a projection system managed by a backend built with Django and React, forming a Progressive Web App (PWA) accessible on both desktop and mobile. The hardware setup includes second-hand tablets and energy-efficient laser projectors, ensuring cost-effectiveness and sustainability. A Raspberry Pi manages user input, connectivity, and projection, with a total power consumption of 123W and estimated annual cost of €160. | In terms of hardware, two main changes were implemented to remain within the €100 budget. An old projector was repurposed instead of acquiring a new one, and an old PC was used in place of the originally planned Raspberry Pi. These substitutions did not affect the testing of the main functionalities but did limit the scope of some hardware-specific tests. |
| |
| Sustainability plays a major role in the project. Environmentally, recycled and biodegradable material as plywood are used, economically, second-hand and locally sourced equipment keeps costs low and socially, the project promotes inclusivity, creativity, and community well-being. Ethical and deontological principles guide decisions around honest communication, environmental care, and content moderation. | The software for the prototype was built using Django for the backend and React for the frontend, resulting in a Progressive Web App (PWA). which makes the system accessible via both web browsers and mobile devices. The prototype’s software features included user login and registration, the ability to draw drawings, a drawing interface, and QR code scanning functionality to link specific locations with relevant drawings. |
| |
| The packaging was designed with dual functionality: a sturdy plywood step-up box for transporting and then supporting tablet use, and a stainless steel projector case that ensures durability and reusability. During prototyping, budget-friendly changes were made, including using PLA instead of ABS and repurposing old hardware. | Both hardware and software underwent a series of tests to evaluate the performance. Hardware tests were conducted in a metro station environment to assess real-world functionality. Of the nine tests, the prototype successfully passed Functionality Testing, Real-Time Display Test, User Experience Testing, Connectivity Test, and Hardware Durability Test. Theme Rotation and Moderation Tests were not completed due to time constraints and development priorities. Energy Consumption and Maintenance & Support Tests could not be performed effectively because the alternative hardware used in the prototype would not have provided representative results for the final product. |
| |
| Testing validated several key features such as functionality, user experience, connectivity, and hardware durability. However, limitations in time and equipment meant that theme rotation, content moderation, energy use monitoring, and long-term maintenance were not fully realized. Nonetheless, the project presents a promising, scalable, and socially engaging solution for urban environments. | Software testing included a detailed analysis of system request statistics and response times, confirming stable and reliable performance for the implemented functionalities. A full report detailing these results was compiled and made available for reference. |
| |
| | In conclusion, the prototype successfully demonstrated the core concept and main functions of the DrawYourWay system, providing valuable insights for future iterations and development phases. |
