interactive bus stop

The Interactive Bus Stop serves as an electronic concierge and digital gateway to the offerings of both its own neighborhood and the transportation system at large.

Facing the city, the exterior of the bus stop has a smart skin that senses and responds to the presence of pedestrians - thus creating a playful, engaging art work.

Facing the waiting passengers, the interior provides displays and interaction screens for way-finding and schedule information, news, local businesses and points of interests, and local community networking services.

Through appropriate use of digital technology, we can turn bus stops into sensual, engaging, memorable landmarks that have varied and distinctive character, and that respond vividly to the unique features of their contexts and communitites in multiple ways, at multiple scales and in multiple time frames.

This project is a group effort. It is the product of a two years collaboration between the RATP and the Mobile Experience group at MIT. My particular involvement was with electronic hardware design and manufacturing, as well as software architecture and implementation.
