Audi to showcase its A2 concept at the Design Miami 2011, created a 190 m2 three-dimensional LED surface that provided a glimpse of the future of our cities where infrastructure and public space is shared between pedestrians and driverless cars. The installation demonstrated how the city surface would continuously gather information about people’s movements and allow vehicles to interact with the environment.
The installation used a real-time graphics engine and the tracking software, that received live inputs from 11 Xbox Kinect cameras mounted above the visitors heads. Through the cameras the movement of the visitors were processed into patterns of movement displayed on the LED surface.
