What
Connect in Transit is an interactive seating area found within a public waiting space – such as train stations, bus stations, airports etc –  that generates audio, triggered by movement within the area. The project will utilise technology within public waiting spaces to encourage social and spatial interaction, bringing people and their surrounding environment together, through a non-intrusive and playful interaction.
The project will encourage the user(s) to interact with their environment through body movement to generate music, giving the user(s) a richer and memorable experience of the space.

Why
The main objective of this project is to make public waiting areas more humane and sociable, enriching the experience whilst spending time in them, as technology can dehumanise our relationships with both people and space.

How
Connect in Transit will be created using an object orientated programming language Pure Data to build a fully working system that captures movement within an area from an over head camera. Once movement is detected, an audio loop will be triggered, out putting audio into the space, through speakers suspended above the space, that are angled towards that center of the area, creating a sound bubble.
