The project

Designed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Crowd Control addresses the anxiety of navigating densely populated areas during a public health crisis. It integrates anonymized, real-time population data to give visibility into crowd density so people can make informed navigation decisions without compromising privacy. Developed as part of an Experience Design Master's program at Northeastern University.
