A prototype is a primitive form of a product, system or service. An Drochaid Eadarainn (The Bridge Between Us) is a prototype for an interactive online social space designed for the Gaelic community. Bridges in Gaelic society were gathering places for sharing and transmitting traditional culture - music, song and dance, stories - and for socializing and exchanging news etc. This prototype aims to demonstrate how a virtual bridge might function!
Once the site is fully developed, visitors will be able to click on An Drochaid Bheó (The Living Bridge) to upload their own stories, photographs, videos, etc. and share their heritage with others. By commenting on content, visitors may engage in conversation and interact with one another.
This prototype is not the final product; it simply allows users (sibh p-fhéin!) to explore and respond to a concept or idea. Our future plans are to develop the full website, but in the meantime we would appreciate your help. If you would, have a look at the prototype, clicking on 'feedback' in the top left hand corner of any page, add your comments or questions, click 'submit' and your comments will be returned to us.
Thank you. Tapadh leibh gu mór!
