Skype Meeting Conclusions

Today we discussed sensory techniques and materiality.  We determined the using CAMERAS would be the most effective way of tracking pedestrians.  

For materials, we feel the most efficient way would be the use of of FIBER OPTICS and LEDs.  This will minimize the use of energy and can be used in conjunction with a computer interface.

We determined that it is necessary to warn the driver by using this signage the behavior of the pedestrian before they arrive at the intersection.  We still need to determine how far in terms of distance and time the driver needs to know.

This week we will come up with 1 or 2 concepts of how the driver is alerted.  Some methods to consider:

Flashing Lights 

Color Gradients

Intensity Gradients

Animation

We also want to consider this application going beyond the intersection and along the sidewalks that lead up to the curb.  Concepts will be up on the blog by Friday's meeting.
