30thStreet (Works best with Chrome)

Demo

30thStreet pays tribute to the Solari Flipboard that was removed from Philadelphia's AMTRAK 30th Street Station in early 2019. Initial goals are to replicate the flipboard's behavior with train schedule data obtained from public images and video recordings of the flipboard in action.

At present, the flipboard's audio component exhibits extreme lag and delays in Safari, and may even stall your browser. Please use Chrome or Firefox until a workaround is found.

Immediate Goals

  • Find a suitable animation to mimic the flip-down effect.
  • Find a suitable sound effect to complement each flip transition.
  • Get the sound effect to play consistenly across browsers.
    • Safari vs non-Safari browsers.
    • Mobile considerations.
    • Sound is out of sync with effect when using wireless headphones due to latency. Likely unfixable.
