"Pop Pop" is a new type of sentient pedestrian signal that not only helps people cross the street, but is a living and breathing agent in his own right. He reacts to the real time data of his street corner: are there too many jaywalkers? how crowded is the corner? is it rainy? Based on these inputs, Pop Pep responds to passer-byers with real human emotion: happiness, frustration, anxiousness, and more.



Pop Pop hopes to make people more aware of the health, safety, and emotion of their city.
