Uplifting Scroll
The Uplifting Scroll
For this assignment, I imagined the elevator as a scroll viewer. The virtual scroll is as tall as the building, and the elevator travels up and down viewing portions of the scroll. Not only would the passengers be allowed to view the scroll through a “window” in the elevator cab, but they would also be allowed to draw on the scroll by interacting with the elevator door.
A Flash demo is included.
An elevator is also called a lift. The scroll can be inspiring and encourage you to use the lift to view it, so I called it the "uplifting scroll".

good exploration
I think this is a good exploration of the idea. The concept I think is not that strong, however. I'd like to see some more thought into (a) how this could be made to look better and (b) how you could strengthen the interaction. I'm not sure if it is compelling enough for daily visitors to use. Even if it is "a game" and not intended to be "useful", I don't see elements that would get people engaged and interested over the long haul. It seems that there could be an opportunity to build community, to get people collaborating or competing with each other.
