UC Parking Lights
How can I find a seat?
Made by Kevin Lee, Eunice Oh and Amanda Marano
Inside the UC, it is always packed with people looking for a place to sit, especially during the lunch hours when people are trying to find a place to eat. We would like to make it simpler to find a place to sit during these times without the hassle of running around back and forth looking for an empty table. Our idea was to implement small, non-disruptive, green lights above each table to indicated whether or not someone is there. If the table is occupied, motion and weight sensors will pick up on this and change the light to red. Otherwise, the light remains green, so people can know where there's someone there.
