Smile Study

Xanthe and I decided to observe the happiness levels of Cuba Street and Lambton Quay and compare the atmospheres of both areas. On a Wednesday afternoon during the lunch rush at around 12:30pm, I was stationed on Cuba Street, while Xanthe at Lambton Quay, where we both simultaneously observed passers-by and their smile levels. For ethical reasons, we are unable to publish the actual photos of the passers-by, but instead we have abstracted them and made this video which displays the average smile level on Cuba and Lambton. As you can see from the video, the smile levels on Cuba are much happier than the smile levels on Lambton, where the average is a frown.
