What is Wanderlust Bridge?

Wanderlust Bridge transports bridge-passers on a mini travel adventure by showcasing various destinations around the globe. Utilizing Google Flights and Google Image Search, the bridge shares a "trip of the day" (flight deals within the next 30 days, curated specifically departing from Pittsburgh). Wanderlust Bridge aims to inspire, delight, and inform passers on the bridge or spectators on the street to travel and explore. 

The visuals of the destinations slowly and subtly change depending on the time of day of that destination. For example, in the images below, Machu Picchu in Peru is shown during the day in Peru and in Pittsburgh, as Peru is only one hour behind Pittsburgh. Contrastingly, the second image below showcases the Northern lights in Norway during the late afternoon/evening in Pittsburgh, as Norway is 6 hours ahead of Pittsburgh.

These subtle changes allow passers to experience something different each time they are on the bridge and it displays a "live" representation of that destination. The visuals do not need a prompt from passers to "begin" or "end"; The bridge acts as an ambient visual, and passers can engage or disengage as much as they want with the visuals/information shared. If passers are interested in the destination, they can scan the QR code at either side of the bridge for the flight search/details on Google Flights and can continue their search on their own.
