An Interactive Staircase that encourages people to take the stairs, instead of the elevator. Each step had an LED-strip, and a distance sensor. The combination of this hardware makes accurate animations that respond to the people that take the staircase possible. Our goal for the future is to open up the hardware and software to other FHICT students, so that others can develop animations for the staircase, and research the behavior of the people that take the stairs.
