Bus-Tops: Interactive art on roofs

Craft & Design

Here’s a neat physical computing project coming to London. The Bus-Tops project is planning to install around 40 LED screens on the tops of bus stations around the city, and is inviting the public to develop content to put on them. Since the screens will be on the roof, they will only be visible from double-decker buses and from buildings.

I like that they are taking advantage of their two-level transportation system. Think it will encourage more people to use it, or is that not an issue in the UK? Either way, it looks like fun, and way cooler then just putting some ads up there. [thanks Dale!]
