Buzzcuit is a concept that is positioned in the concept area ‘Have a break’. Have a break focuses on the cutting edge of leisure, informal gathering and work.
In an information-saturated world, where people work at different locations, there is a need for an easy and more social way to keep office workers updated and better aware of surrounding activities. Coffee breaks are a good moment to do exactly this. This is why we developed Buzzcuit.

Buzzcuit is a large touch screen that is placed in a coffee corner at work. Buzzcuit was designed to provide co-workers with inspiring information and to get them to know each other a little better. Buzzcuit displays a constant flow of messages, or ‘buzz’. You can find ‘buzz’ in different categories, such as people, projects, twitter streams and RSS feeds. Buzz is linked to each other and to external news feeds.

By touching the buzz, you can zoom in on a message and see more information and links to related information.
A prototype of Buzzcuit was placed at the Rabobank last week. Already, people are starting to use Buzzcuit. We will evaluate the use of Buzzcuit at the Rabobank in a few weeks.

Buzzcuit was based on the Vista concept developed by Lucy Gunawan, Qarin Hjortzberg-Nordlund, Xu Sun, Nele Van den Ende, Marcin Wichar and Aga Matysiak.
