Description

NJI Media’s development team built an interactive application that puts American electoral history at a user’s fingertips in conjunction with C-SPAN, the non-profit television network. America’s television resource for government and political news has launched a cross-country bus tour to educate citizens about the 2012 race and the history of presidential campaigns. C-SPAN partnered with NJI Media to build an educational, visually stimulating and seamless digital application for the bus tour.

Visitors to the C-SPAN Digital Bus use touch-screen computers located throughout the bus to learn about the candidates and the electoral process. A custom Twitter dashboard depicts candidate tweets and pundit reactions, and an interactive electoral college map depicts American presidential history from 1900 to present. In order to keep the bus application as up-to-date as possible, NJI Media built a custom mobile server that updates its archives whenever (and wherever) the bus has a mobile Internet connection.

With this one-of-a-kind application and extensive content archives, the C-SPAN Digital Bus is an inclusive resource for engaged citizens looking to learn more about the 2012 campaign.
