Recently featured in Georgia County Government magazine, the SayWhyPoll mobile app enables elected officials, civic leaders, and media producers to engage with constituents and audiences either remotely or face-to-face using surveys that tightly couple close-ended survey items with rich media, such as video. The SayWhyPoll is designed to increase opportunities for public debate on civic issues but is also suitable for pure entertainment topics, such as sports and lifestyle. Once people contribute their viewpoints, Tangible Anchoring enables the results of this experimental survey technique to be easily explored and discussed via interactive tabletops using information visualizations designed for television programs and public meetings.
