Innovation Oakland is a community-wide wayfinding infrastructure initiative that celebrates the Oakland community as an international center of new technology and research innovation. As part of this initiative, the team of students at Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center will develop digital kiosks with interactive LED touch screen displays and web-based data that will foster economic, intellectual, social and cultural interaction in the Oakland community. These interactive and engaging devices will highlight Oakland's unique assets while providing critical information such as community maps, public transportation schedules, bike rack locations, hospital facilities, community-wide events, museum exhibits, and Oakland’s many restaurants and retail businesses.
