Smash Stress is an interactive system we developed to prevent people from crossing when the traffic light is red. It consists on a little game that is activated when people are forbidden to cross. The goal is to turn off all the lights of the system by kicking the target as fast as possible. This way people can entertain themselves during they wait for green light. We set it up on Bonanova’s square traffic light and many people used it and though it was a good idea. Kids specially loved to play with it.

I was responsible to define the interaction model, prepare the electric circuit using Arduino for the physical prototype and code its behavior. We prepared together with the team the final prototype to be installed on a semaphor
