While commuting into the city one morning, it struck me how quiet and sometimes unhappy their journey can be. This led me to think, what could help improve their general mood while on these everyday journeys.. it may  be something small, big, colourful, engaging, interesting. Which is when I thought of an initial concept for a prooject called... "City-Mood"

City Mood is a concept that works around these issues, by playing on Colour and motion vibrantly included in the surrounding city. For example, Fountains such as the Trafalgar Square Fountain (or any other water feature for that matter ) could be rigged with fluorescent lights and water pumps that would therapeutically adjust and change due to particular factors, such as;

Time of year,

Day or night - (Light sensors)

Temperature (Temperature sensor)

Pedestrian movement (Motion sensors)

etc.....

The "IDEA" would be to make people feel happier due to the therapeutic colours and motions. At least this would attempt to brighton the lives of commuters, and if built on a large scale as mentioned, would be seen by several million people everyday ensuring some measure of positive outcome. People passing on the bus will see the fountain change colour due to the weather, so if it was a cold day, the temperature would be detected and so the colour of the water would turn warm reds and oranges with water displays. Where as if it were a Hot day, the system, powered by the BX24, would be programmed to express cooler blues and greens to appear refreshing!

Technically, this project would work around a simple circuit.. one that make it's decisions upon two to three factors. Light, Temp, Motion. These would all be simple inputs that could then pass information through the BX24, which would process the desired outcomes. 

I believe their is a supportive purpose to this project, and would enjoy following it up..
