The Dancing Traffic Light
The concept that's captivating the pedestrians is not new.
It's the same reason young children sit motionless in front of TVs watching shows or cartoons.
The MOVEMENT of the figure is causing the brain of the pedestrians to do a hard reset as it continues to do RANDOM dancing motions. Your brain does everything it can to STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS until such time as you figure out what's going on.
In this case, it happens to be entertaining, even for adults.
No doubt it's saving lives!
Simply amazing technology.
