Lost in Boston: REALTIME

Lost in Boston is a set of experiments in public/private signage for neighborhoods led by research scientist Rick Borovoy from the MIT Center for Future Civic Media. REATIME signs are cheap ($200) networked displays that show exactly how long until a bus comes. These signs can be purchased by stores, libraries, or other places where people congregate, so that waiting for the bus is no longer an outdoor activity. "Turn the bus stop into a book store."
