Show the how many people go through a given point against time.
Im going to make visual patterns from the data and try extrapolate some kind of statistical regularity (if one exists) concerning crowd dynamics. So this project (or experiment) will be set up in a variety of different places, (we can ignore the cameras and screens for now for they are irrelevant to my question. They will only be using in the exhibition of the project).
I want to explore the uses in deriving mathematical formula from patterns. Of course I could just see some kind of correlation in the graphs but Im currently doing an illustration course, so Im exploring what I can do with images especially. I used to study physics at university, so perhaps you can guess the inspiration for the 'concept'. Also I recently read an article about crowd dynamics which I found fascinating.
Anyway, thats the whole thing and why Im using arduino, seeing as I was rubbish at digital electronics, I am seeking help and suggestions.
