Hmm, looks fake to me, the image/text is wobbling differently than the camera.
Good eye, I didn't notice at all. It is indeed fake and done with a green screen and post processing.

#13Sorry to be an asshat, but isn't this thing incredibly old? I'm getting a strong déjà vu feeling.

#14This is pretty awesome, I couldn't help but think of all those sorry people complaining about the germs on the screen itself.
Great innovation.

#15Neat, I guess, but personally I think people should be more alert and aware when in and around traffic, not more distracted.

#16This looks a little dangerous to me, because it makes the pedestrian take their mind off the road. Just last week, a car accidentally drove up on the side walk part of the crosswalk and would have hit me had I not been paying attention and jumped out of the way. From what I understand this is not an uncommon event either. It's not like the lip of the curve is really any protection against the cars, a car can easily drive over it.

(Hint: Here's how you say that sentence properly: "Yes, because we actually stop at them!" The way you constructed it - you're doing it at the moment, definitively ..)

#18We need video games at all street corners? Look up and view life!

#19I like this concept - small, usable art installations designed to make inconspicuous things social. But the pessimist in me takes one look at their concept and things "That's going to break so quickly here in Boston."
What I would love to see, and which seems realistic from this video, is an installation that shows the people waiting a "loading bar" or countdown or some visual indicator of how long until the crosswalk is green for pedestrians. In the video they show this as the background color - red or green - gradually draining from the screen.

It's not really any different to someone checking Twitter or FB ;)
