German Traffic Light Incorporates Pong: "experiment in social interraction"


"A very modern traffic light in central Germany that allows you to play a game of pong with someone on the other side of the street while waiting for the light to change. An amazing invention and experiment in social interaction."

I think this is beautifully designed because the players must cross paths as they walk across the street after the game. I can picture two random strangers exchanging high-fives or at least smiling at each other.

  1. This is really interesting idea. I like how it is put in place to make a moment of boredom - waiting for a light - into a moment of fun. You have to stand there anyway, and it will even warn you when the light has changed.
