We met in Pat's garage on Saturday to begin construction of our lo-fi model. We are making it full scale to get a better understanding of how big it should be and we can test how users will be using it.
Pine wood is used as the internal structure of the model. All the electronics (L.E.D's, wires, sensors and power) will be secured into cut-outs in the ply, which will be covered by a semi-translucent piece of acrylic. The acrylic will cover all the routes on the pole and will bend around the edges of the ply, allowing the light from the L.E.D's to refract around the sides of the pole.

It will obviously not be a full working prototype as we don't possess the necessary skills, knowledge and tools. The most we will be able to display is; the selecting of one destination and the distance between your stop and the bus coming. This should quite clearly show the intent of our design.
