WonderMap: Capturing and Connecting the Edges of Cultures
Article No.: 110, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
In the era of globalization, the intertwining of cultures poses both opportunities and challenges. While cultural hybridization fosters intercultural exchange, it risks eroding cultural identities. This paper introduces WonderMap, initially centered on the Netherlands but with broader applications. This interactive map bridges local and international communities, empowering local voices, nurturing cross-cultural understanding, and fostering a global community. WonderMap integrates tangible maps, Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, and digital interfaces, allowing users to share narratives and foster genuine connections. Currently limited to specific cities, WonderMap envisions future upgrades, incorporating advanced technologies for precise location identification and immersive experiences. By balancing cultural diversity and global interconnectedness, WonderMap seeks to celebrate diverse cultures and promote mutual understanding in our interconnected world.
