Feet-back! Great ambient polling idea

A pair of gates, a binary question and people vote by walking through the respective turnstile.

How much easier could ambient polling be? This project submitted by Leah Marthinsen and Ann Marie Lonsdale to Theatrum Mundi’s Designforfreespeech competition. So imagine you get off your commuter train and you have a satisfied / dissatisfied choice when exiting from the platform. Instant voting, instant feedback.

Ambient polling the amusing and profitable way - as seen at my local coffee place at the cash check-out: "have you been kissed today?" and two tip jars - one for "yes", one for "no". Answer via your tip - a scheme that seems profitable, tips have gone up significantly with this entertaining micro-polling system according to the baristas.

in that spirit: Happy holidays and a jolly ambient New Year!!
