TOOL

Observing and visualising human behaviour in public space

Short description

Collecting data on how people use space can give you a solid foundation to discuss how it should be designed. The free public live app helps you to collect the data you need when observing people.

The picture is an example how you could visualise the collected data, done by urban design studio prostorož.
