Intention

The primary goal of our project is to create an environment that encourages interactions among strangers in public spaces.

One such space we identified is the bus stop. It is a place we visit multiple times every day. Most of our time is spent waiting for the bus. It can be very frustrating as it feels like a waste of time. However, it is unavoidable. While waiting for the bus, we encounter the same people almost every day, yet we do not interact with them or even acknowledge their presence. Instead, we occupy ourselves with our phones to avoid eye contact or any type of interaction.

Our project aims to transform solitary waiting at bus stops into a collaborative and engaging experience through game-play and ambient light.
