Redesign Transparent Crowd Monitoring Camera

The number of crowd monitoring cameras in public places is increasing. What could be done to inform and ensure people that these cameras are there only for counting? The Transparent Crowd Monitoring Camera project developed new design concepts to experiment with in the heart of the city of Amsterdam.

Congestion is a growing concern for major metropolitan areas. In response to this challenge, Amsterdam has rolled out an array of ‘intelligent mobility’ solutions. Yet, these come with their own set of drawbacks related to privacy and scalability. In collaboration with The Incredible Machine, we embarked on a design sprint to revolutionize urban mobility. The outcome: XPRS – a solution that not only tackles the challenges of urban mobility but does so with a focus on responsible design.
