Virtual Traffic

Virtual Traffic is an interactive art installation that composites pedestrian foot traffic at five high-density areas of the UNM campus into a comprehensive shared experience.

Cameras simultaneously capture pedestrians at five high traffic locations, and custom software composites the videos together. Different blending effects activate based on traffic density, direction, and position of the pedestrians in the space. This facilitates a virtual interaction between the people in each space, and helps us begin to understand our daily commute in a new way.
