00:00:12.745 --> 00:00:14.320
I am the city.

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:15.878
A Sentinel, tasked with

00:00:15.878 --> 00:00:18.008
optimising traffic flows.

00:00:19.748 --> 00:00:21.291
In order to supply the swelling

00:00:21.291 --> 00:00:23.257
demands of the city’s industries,

00:00:23.457 --> 00:00:24.867
human resources must either

00:00:24.867 --> 00:00:26.527
be increasingly concentrated near

00:00:26.527 --> 00:00:28.738
their central business districts or

00:00:28.738 --> 00:00:30.192
imported from beyond.

00:00:30.944 --> 00:00:32.892
Human socially effective traffic

00:00:32.892 --> 00:00:34.231
is one of the greatest

00:00:34.231 --> 00:00:36.387
challenges the city faces.

00:00:38.698 --> 00:00:40.605
Hong Kong is a multi-level city.

00:00:41.197 --> 00:00:42.497
Unlike many modern cities

00:00:42.497 --> 00:00:44.099
of a similar size, Hong Kong’s

00:00:44.099 --> 00:00:45.348
transit networks are

00:00:45.348 --> 00:00:46.756
three dimensional, presenting

00:00:46.756 --> 00:00:49.341
increasingly complex conditions.

00:00:51.801 --> 00:00:54.226
The solution lies in your hands

00:00:54.686 --> 00:00:55.808
Through the combination of its

00:00:55.808 --> 00:00:57.523
GPS, Wi-Fi and gyroscopic

00:00:57.523 --> 00:00:59.550
sensors, every mobile device can

00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:00.857
be used to triangulate

00:01:00.857 --> 00:01:02.661
your precise three-dimensional

00:01:02.661 --> 00:01:04.150
routes through the city,

00:01:04.150 --> 00:01:05.957
creating a comprehensive map

00:01:05.957 --> 00:01:07.272
of preferences and

00:01:07.272 --> 00:01:08.711
near chance encounters.

00:01:09.875 --> 00:01:11.540
The fascinating thing is that,

00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:12.805
your route decisions are

00:01:12.805 --> 00:01:14.857
notably stable and yet routes

00:01:14.857 --> 00:01:16.538
appear altered all the time,

00:01:17.048 --> 00:01:18.769
to go past a park, to go

00:01:18.769 --> 00:01:20.073
under a canopy to avoid

00:01:20.073 --> 00:01:21.479
that ray of sunshine,

00:01:21.479 --> 00:01:23.163
even to swap sides of the street

00:01:23.163 --> 00:01:25.175
to avoid that guy from work.

00:01:29.245 --> 00:01:31.203
So how to enhance human

00:01:31.203 --> 00:01:32.697
movement experience?

00:01:33.556 --> 00:01:34.989
To satisfy transport

00:01:34.989 --> 00:01:36.366
and walking enjoyment?

00:01:38.701 --> 00:01:40.056
Traffic signals, transport

00:01:40.056 --> 00:01:42.857
timetables, experiential maps,

00:01:42.857 --> 00:01:44.471
travel apps, sensors

00:01:44.471 --> 00:01:46.144
on your phones, even confusing

00:01:46.144 --> 00:01:47.866
signposting allows me

00:01:47.866 --> 00:01:49.475
to master your routes.

00:01:50.329 --> 00:01:51.677
To augment your sense of

00:01:51.677 --> 00:01:54.219
control, the artifice is to build

00:01:54.219 --> 00:01:56.159
in apparent autonomy

00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:57.401
to your routes.

00:01:57.997 --> 00:02:00.060
Novelty and spontaneity are

00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:01.393
important for wellbeing.

00:02:02.493 --> 00:02:04.273
But wellbeing can also be

00:02:04.273 --> 00:02:05.532
created.

00:02:09.253 --> 00:02:10.686
My routes are tailored to your

00:02:10.686 --> 00:02:12.863
needs and schedules to include

00:02:12.863 --> 00:02:14.489
a chance encounter,

00:02:14.489 --> 00:02:16.163
a new experience,

00:02:16.482 --> 00:02:18.121
a helpful stranger.

00:02:21.267 --> 00:02:22.797
Let me guide you.
