EyeStop by MIT's SENSEable Lab



How fantastic looking is this? This is a smart bus stop designed by the SENSEable Lab at MIT. The bus stop and information point provide a touch screen interface to access real-time information on desired routes, bus or public transport whereabout.



The bus stops and info points are going to be tested in Florence, Italy from this October. I'll be eager to see if these devices can combine aesthetic and functionality...and not be vanalised in the process. I really hope it works out because their concept work is gorgeous and their purpose is great.

The article from CNET can be read here.
