Working with TAXI and The Rick Hansen Foundation we were challenged to find a way to create a poster that would change to accommodate the needs of anybody who approached it. We installed a Kinect sensor that would allow the poster to know how tall the viewer is and how far away they are. This allowed us to adjust the position and font size to accommodate people in wheelchairs and people with difficulty seeing. We also listened for to people speaking in the vicinity of the poster and changed the language displayed on the poster to the ambient language being spoken. We are now working on developing a functional prototype in order to provide this technology to the public in general.
