# High-Tech Traffic Safety Hanyoung Lee's Virtual Wall By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-04-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/encouraging-traffic-safety-with-plasma-wall-hanyoung-lees-virtual-wall References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2008/04/21/cant-cross-a-virtual-wall/) The Virtual Wall conceived by Hanyoung Lee is designed to heighten [driver and pedestrian awareness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/public-safety-initiative) and to encourage both to follow crosswalk rules. The virtual wall which is made of [plasma laser beams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible), shows virtual pedestrians jaywalking and ignoring traffic rules of pedestrian safety. I am not quite following this concept here. But the virtual wall looks nice! **Implications** - Concept traffic lights have been laid out, but they're never actually put into production. Hanyoung Lee's virtual wall is a unique way of bringing concepts to life. While it's a piece of art that won't be permanent, it's a creative way to encourage safety among pedestrians and drivers. Perhaps this is an indication that businesses should consider putting some of these concept designs into production for the sake of a safer environment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Virtual Safety Enhancements:** Creative ways of using technology to increase safety for pedestrians and drivers. - **Interactive Traffic Guides:** Utilizing innovative and interactive tools for promoting road rules and regulations. - **Concept Design Implementation:** Implementing and producing concept designs for public safety improvement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** Innovative ways to enhance safety and promote adherence to established traffic rules and regulations. - **Technology:** Development of creative ways to use technology in increasing safety for pedestrians and drivers. - **Art and Design:** Designing and implementing innovative concepts that can effectively promote safety in public areas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pedestrian-Detecting Crosswalks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-pedestrian-crosswalk.md) - [Workstation Projection Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-wall.md) - [IoT-Connected Traffic Beacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traffic-beacon-concept.md) - [Character-Like Roadway Bollards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safety-bollard.md) - [Traffic Light-Inspired Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traffic-light-bench.md) - [AI-Assisted Urban Traffic Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-traffic-management.md) - [Interactive Creativity Home Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-interactive-wall.md) - [Gargantuan Digital Lifeguards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/public-safety-initiative.md) - [Cyclist Safety Light Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-safety-device.md)
