Whisper

Filed in archive Cool , Technology on April 21, 2006

whisper is a large project which includes a range of skills and competencies from hardware and electronic design, to software engineering and programming, to physical space design, to data architecture design, to sound design.

What is it about:
whisper is a real-time interactive media installation, based on small wearable devices, wireless computer communication, and handheld technologies embedded in evocative and playful garments worn by the participants. Focusing on body architecture, whisper aims to unearth physical data patterns of the body, mapping physiological data onto linked and networked devices worn on or close to the skin and in garments. In other words, it involves collecting data from the bodies of participants, and through visualisation and sonification techniques, interpreting that data.

And there are tons of pictures about the process of the project.
