Research: Concept Materials


Wayfinding systems may benefit greatly from future concept materials.
Thin, flexible, and durable describe the future materials that will be used for:
1. electronic display
2. thin film paper display
3. form and structure

There are so many potential applications of these technologies on the bus!

Some quick lists:
- wrapping wayfinding materials (ie. real time maps) on walls, windows, etc
- bus elements (such as seats) that conform to the passenger as needed
- augmenting windows with aircraft like info displays of clarifying information
- bus passes can become truly awesome, multifunctional, and simple
