CuteCircuit's workshop

The CuteCircuit workshop was an amazing experience: it brought a lot of fresh air to my idea of interaction design, after an infinite and boring electronic and programming workshop week with Tom Igoe.
Cute Circuit are Francesca and Ryan, two of the firsts graduated at the worlwide well-knowed Ivrea Interaction Design Insitute, in Italy.
Now they are involved in wearable computing projects, and they're taking lectures and workshops about interaction design all over the world.
After an interesting theorical introduction to both the fashion and wearable computing worlds, all the partecipants were invited to design something, starting from many different main themes obtained from various braimstorming sessions. Me, Stig and Marie were the Trasforming team (!).We designed an everyday/protective suit to use in a future pandemic.
It would be not just a protective suit but also an interactive message
of cleanness, infact when the plastic fabric gets in contact with disinfectants,four blue light under the suit start to bright.
There is also a PIR sensor on the back of the suit wich advise you if someonecomes from behind, over the "Recommanded social distance of three meters".
Here you have some images of the projects and the funny fashion show.
