TaxiLink Project is an interactive device that enables users to experience a distant but authentic taxi ride in Jerusalem. TaxiLink creates a link between a taxi driving in Jerusalem and participants from distant locations abroad. Sitting in the static TaxiLink booth, passengers join a live ride in and around the old city of Jerusalem, experiencing a personal interaction with a real-life taxi driver screened through a rear view mirror. Through live video and audio transmitted from the driving cab, the passengers experience a genuine ride, even though they are physically miles away
