Smart City concept tends to improve quality of life by using digital technology and efficient consumption of resources. However, many other aspects related to the quality of citizens needs, such as social, entertaining and fun, which are beyond the efficiency are neglected as for the healthy and happy life of smart cities inhabitants. This paper discusses two playful outdoor artworks featuring audio-visual metaphors capable of involving the audience in playful and social experience in an urban space. We used sensor technologies and visually enhanced public spaces, together with sonic interaction design approach, to enrich aesthetic and fictional dimensions of the urban environments. Our design issues were to create playful and responsive public space which will immerse the audience in interactive audio-visual experience. The artworks “Vrroom” and “The Light and Shade of Realm” focus in on smart city concept viewpoint related to social rather than efficiency dimensions to consider in future living environments development.

设计好玩的城市：新城市环境体验的视听隐喻

智慧城市概念倾向于通过使用数字技术和有效利用资源来改善生活质量。但是，对于智慧城市居民的健康快乐生活，许多与公民需求质量有关的其他方面，例如社交，娱乐和娱乐，都超出了效率。本文讨论了两个具有视听比喻的户外嬉戏艺术品，这些隐喻可以使观众参与到城市空间的嬉戏和社交体验中。我们使用传感器技术和视觉增强的公共空间，以及声音交互设计方法，以丰富城市环境的美学和虚构维度。我们的设计问题是创造一个有趣且反应迅速的公共空间，使观众沉浸在交互式视听体验中。
