“A great incubator technology , a watershed between the before and after.” So, Roberto Formigoni in February 2012 described Expo 2015 , the event that for six months he reshaped Milan . In fact, even then, the intention was to move towards technology consolidated, without running the risk of venturing on a journey into the future.
The desire to surprise, however, was so great. And so it was announced the biometric recognition for the visitors, who would guide them suggesting access less crowded and offer a Avatar to plan the visit. Too bad, though, that this novelty to Expo 2015 will not be.
In the first project dates back to Moratti was talk also of a portable device specially created. An idea then replaced by the impetuous development of smartphone and tablet and Tim returns with Tim2go , a service that allows you to rent from one to seven days a tablet equipped with all the apps Expo to visit the event.
The tablet will use the network available on the exhibition site, an example of smart city which, as told by Andrea Costa Expo project manager for Tim, “includes over 220 kilometers of fiber 10Gb, 4G for mobile and use the cloud , with over 200 servers, which already in 2012 enabled services Expo . “
In addition to a hundred information totems , were also installed 2,700 access points for coverage Wi-Fi using directional antennas able to orient where there is more traffic , in addition to the creation of a widget natively installed on TV of the latest generation of Samsung , another sponsor of the event. Costa does not reveal details on mobile broadband and Wi-Fi but that “it is a cover not trivial with a user experience top regarding the Wi-fi. “
In practice it should be simple to connect. Cisco has chosen “a balance between the new and statements “, says the leader Expo Fabio Florio , deciding to use the products present in the ‘ August 2014 . The company was responsible for the infrastructure of the network on which “runs 99% of application , the entry turnstiles, to the ticketing and the energy management of pavilions “. Everything is based on the protocol IP . So, if you gave the network closes Expo.
Augmented Reality and HealthPresence: that there will be – All technology partners have provided basic services to the pavilions that within them are free to adopt or not other technology . The situation is changing rapidly because someone has signed contracts for the ‘ high tech in recent days. L ‘ Azerbaijan will provide links to telepresence (videoconferencing at the highest level) between Milan and some squares of the country, but no trace of reality increased , at least outside the halls. Also abandoned the project HealthPresence with medical remotely via totem because of organizational difficulties and also the expected bracelet that would monitor the health of visitors.
The RFID have been left to focus on leaner QR code , and should soon It is presented a project that traces the origin of the products to the table of the consumer and the exhibition site will be used localization solutions to understand how they move people.
Traffic, virtual reality, taxi and hotel apps available – video wall will not be interactive as opposed to totem They will have information and schedule . It seems inconceivable that, as announced, offer the opportunity to book museums , Restaurant and also the gift blood . Samsung , said the head of marketing and external relations Mario Levratto , has provided “ video wall , tablets, big screens and smartphone “creating installations like” Wall Market “30 x 10 meters with 460 screens that will provide information on the food .
“Within the Expo are also available twenty iWall who interact with the mobile allowing you to send postcards, messages, and more.” Samsung has provided even fifty Gear Vr rent. The device for the virtual reality allows you to dive to 360 ° in the exhibition site and will also be used by the Ministry of ‘ Environment .
And then there’s the app created by Accenture which provides basic information , but not the ones on the traffic for which c ‘is the app Luceverde City and Aci , and allows personalization of the visit. In an upcoming update that we do not know when it will be ready will be a section devoted to the links to access the companion app as the app City1Tap , through which you can book taxi and hotel . And if there is any curiosity you can contact AskExpo , the social info point via Twitter .
At the end of May will be released Memento . It is an update of the app that the user can decide whether to activate and allow you to save and share your path in Expo with some statistics such as km routes and pavilions visited.
As for the information to the disabled ‘s Asphi (association that deals with initiating and developing projects to reduce the handicap by the computer), it has evaluated totem and website “but – says Ennio Paiella of Asphi- not know if the suggestions are then adopted” . On the app checks are suspended for now.
