who is it for?
Its target is anyone who needs to walk around the city without a “sinking feeling”.
what information does it gives?
As Venice is an island linked to the high and low tide mechanism of the Lagoon,TSF allows the users to see in an easy and intuitive way where and when the water is going to raise up/down, to easily plan their movements in the city. TSF also gives you the possibility to know which kind of boots (or waders) wear depending on the water level of the zones you want to visit.
where is it?
TSF can be located at home, to plan your walking path around the city and know the high tide situation before going out. Also, it can be located in some key-zones of the city where is crucial for the tourists and the Venetians to know the high tide situation of the lower zone in Venice: S.Marco.
i.e. At the railway station (a forced passage) TSF tells how much the high tide will raise or down, allowing the user to plan a coffee (or two) in the bar.
