The goal of the project is to create a system of attentive displays deployed in a crowded place that are able to grasp the situational context of its viewers and use this information to adapt their behavior.
The system employs 3D sensors for depth imaging and computer vision algorithms to infer crowd behavioral patterns, then adapts display behavior accordingly.
