ABSTRACT
"Connected anytime, anywhere, anyhow" is what the Dutch research programme Freeband envisions. However, how does always being connected, anywhere and anytime affect your life? Lifelink, an interactive simulation, enables users to experience the impact of 4G technology. This playable simulation is a representation of an imaginary city in which you as being either a student or a general practitioner experience how 4G communication enriches your daily activities. In this way, Lifelink shows the compelling value of 4G at personal and professional level, and enables Lifelink users to discover the uniqueness of the Freeband projects. The interactive simulation has been designed for deployment and usage on demonstration floors. The gameplay is operated with a PDA and can be experienced on a large screen as well.
