Watching Walkers (EPSRC follow-on fund, from November 2005 to October 2006).
Professor Jon Kerridge. Project Partner: Irisys Limited

Project funded by EPSRC under the Engineering and Research Innovation follow-on funding scheme. Aim of the project was to further develop the Pedestrian Flow Calculation System so that it could be easily exported to a variety of external locations including schools, shopping mall, transport concourses and the Edinburgh Science Fair. This was achieved by creating a presentation environment comprising five display banners, a plasma screen to show pedestrian trajectories as people walk under two infra red sensors mounted above the display area. The primary aim of the presentation was to get people to interact with the sensor system and associated display so that their interest is aroused and thus we can communicate the underpinning ideas, technology and uses to a wider audience.
