EyeStop is the bus stop of the future, it was created by MIT engineers, and among all the things the system can do, it can show you the shortest way home.

The bus stop is solar powered,  it’s covered with screens and e-Ink ( an example of e-Ink used on an issue of Esquire magazine, featured below), and it’s connected to the Internet.

EyeStop shows users the exact location of the bus they’re waiting for, finds the shortest bus route, checks the air quality, browse the web and even displays advertisement and community announcements.

Again, it was created by the MIT, and presented at the Genio Fiorentino Festival in Florence. October is the tentative date for the first formal prototype.
