By arranging poles with individually controllable rotation direction a nd speed, the system gently and subtly directs people. For example, change s in rotation can convey messages such as "go" or "stop. In environments s uch as airports, these poles can serve as triggers for passengers to acces s the information they need, while providing visual reassurance to surroun ding passengers. The goal is to gently present information in public space s with low cognitive load, addressing challenges such as staff shortages a nd information overload.\n\nRegistration Category: Enhanced Access, Exhibi t & Experience Access, Experience Hall Exhibitor, Full Access, Full Access Supporter, Trade Exhibitor URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=pos_249&sess=sess195 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
