TransitScreen has created SmartWalk, a projected display system that lets cities display the latest transport information on any surface. The company - which already offers screens that collect together real-time information about buses, trains and traffic in office and university buildings - is aiming to make that data more available in public spaces. Along with up-to-date public transport information, the SmartWalk system will be able to direct passersby in the direction of the nearest station, or to local amenities and places of interest, along with the amount of time it should take to get there.
