Abstract Although digital revolution has pervaded almost every part of daily life, cities remained seemingly analogue and furthermore inhabitants are mostly excluded from the digital layer. By replacing timeworn light bulbs with a projector linked with an intelligent sensor array we expect to increase social interaction within open spaces by creating a more engaging way through the city and reduce the use of distracting and separating mobile devices. We propose several applications to support the weakest traffic participants-pupils-having a safe way to school and back, prevent accidents and guide pedestrians through an increasingly complex city. We want to provide a more economical, safer and smarter way to lighten up the way through future cities.
