I helped the 27 Steps team with their prototype for the Market Street Prototyping Festival. I created a motion sensing people counter that played a musical composition on both sides of the installation.
Here's a diagram that shows how I capture pedestrian counts and triggered the music to play when people interactive with the prototype.

I setup hardware and prototyped a system to collect real-time data about the number of people who interacted with an art installation on San Francisco's Market St.

Here's an example of the code for the real-time count of people interacting with the prototype. Participants and the SF Planning Department could see this count on their phone during the Prototyping Festival.
I shared the data with the San Francisco Planning Department. They we're excited to have the data and used it in their overall report to the city about the prototyping event.

I built the pedestrian counter use an infrared sensor on Raspberry Pi hardware to count all the participants that walked through the installation.
