A tool to gain visibility into the real-time capacity of airplane overhead bins

Utilizing an arduino 101 and a button sensor network to simulate two overhead bins. We pass 12 data points (6 for each bin) to the computer over serial where a Python script parses the data and sends it over a web socket. The d3 visualization creates a connection to the web socket and updates the bin availabilities and total usage graph
