The Community Board is a smart bulletin board that allows users to add their content to the board with their personal mobile devices.
It combines low-tech and high-tech, using natural materials like solid wood and modern ePaper display technology. The ePaper technology is an electronic component that mimics the appearance of ordinary ink on paper.
Paper free
Unlike regular bulletin board which use papers, we decided to use ePaper displays because they are eco-friendly and don't consume any electricity while displaying a static image.
User generated content
Since Google for Startups Campus is a community space, we wanted to allow the community to post content on their own. Community members can scan the QR codes on the board and using a mobile interface, fill a form and POOF! - The image will be rendered in the cloud to perfectly fit within brand guideline and appear on the board.
Smart bulletin board
Since the Community Board uses cutting-edge serverless cloud technology, we are able to provide the Google for Startups team with a realtime dashboard. In this dashboard, the team can see usage analytics as well as edit posts that don't fit community guidelines.
“The Community Board is an amazing asset to us and our community. We are able to provide great value to our members and guests, while helping the local ecosystem and our residents to hire talent.”
