URBAN DESIGN FICTION HACKATHON 2015
Iason Pantazis from Topotheque took part in the Urban Design Fiction Hackathon organised by the Onassis Cultural Foundation in Athens, a 36-hours marathon that aims to engage the public to collaborate in the creation of local urban knowledge networks using open-source software and hardware technologies, through “Do-It-Yourself” (DIY) and “Do-It-With-Others” (DIWO) methodologies.
BiSense is a prototype wearable device which employs sensors and actuators in order to create a form of sensational connection between two users. Input data such as pulse levels, heartbeat, breath frequency and temperature variations, is transformed into specific sensational cues (sound, vibration) to another wearable “Twin” Device through the use of conductive fabric, arduino board, light sensors, vibrators and speakers.
Project Team: Pantazis Iason (Fab Lab Ioannina), Papatheodorou Iraklis, Failadi Vasiliki, Hasa Elissavet, Panoutsopoulou Vasiliki, Klouvidaki Marilena
