Hanyoung Lee has come up with an ingenious new crosswalk design which creates a virtual wall using 'plasma lasers.' The lasers are at a low enough strength so as to not burn holes through cars or pedestrians, and project an image of people crossing the street in red. The virtual wall has an increase ability to slow drivers down and stop. The barrier causes what could be called an "I don't want to drive into a wall" effect.
While its definitely going to be a while before we see any thing like this in our cities it is a look at what cross walks of the future could look like.
