2008 Autodesk Visualization Award Submission

The 2008 theme for the Autodesk Visualization Design Competition was “design an invention for your community.” The animation team at Westside Boiler Invasion envisioned a device that warns drivers of nearby emergency vehicles.
 

When an emergency vehicle goes through an intersection it runs the risk of being hit by a driver that is unaware of its presence. With this device, an emergency vehicle can send out a signal to radio receivers in cars. The device turns off all music and radio and makes a light on the dashboard flash to alert the driver that there is an emergency vehicle nearby.
