In collaboration with Laura Pison, Valeria Sanguin, Fabio Nucatolo
Our mobile application allows people to find experiences in an unusual way, according to
their interests and gives the chance to encounter many others along different paths around
the city. We decided to work for hobos: people who make the choice to live a wandering life.
They don’t belong to a fixed physical place, have no permanent ties with people, and live
from hand to mouth looking for inner growth.

Our application is based mostly on the feedback of inner growth given by the use of the
Delaunay Triangulation in the graphics. Both the map and the profile image are elaborated
with triangulation because it seemed us a better way to give the hobo the immediate
awareness of an inner growth: as the number of experiences in Venice increases, the profile
image grows. And as the profile image is quite clear, the hobo can recognize himself in the
physical place and probably feel the impulse to move away.
