Visualizing Time Project

Visualizing Time Through a Subway Cart

Displays 1:11-1:12am
Displays 4:17-4:18pm

In this program, I used the state of a subway cart to visualize time. The seconds are represented by how fast or slow the riders are moving. Starting at 0 seconds, where there are little to no movements, the riders are moving faster as the clock reaches 60 seconds. At every minute, the orange “tracker” on the black and white “route map” on the back left of the train cart moves up one “train stop.” Each stroke represents a minute and every 10th minute is marked. For every hour, the number of people in the train cart changes. If the actual time is between 7-9 am or 3-8 pm, which is approximately the times for rush hour in real life, the train cart will be more crowded than usual.
