Description

Why is the NYC traffic so bad, and why is the NYC subway schedule so unreliable? The MTA is working hard and has proposed a few ways to fix these issues, but their solutions would not have impacts right away. What we can help now is to design a tool that is accurate and easy-to-use, so when train delay is inevitable, people can still plan ahead.

Description

Musical instruments is a common art form that could be engaged emotionally and physically. We came across a project called Klanglichter, and were inspired by it. To make our version of laser harp, we took an approach of making a frame that could house an array of laser diodes and sensors. The final result is a controller that provides an interactive audio and visual experience.
