Nomo-Wearable (Eric Lin Yuan-Tang)
Context
A wearable whose
purpose is to keep the user away from engaging social media by subjecting the
user to unpleasant physical feedback on their arms/hands when operating a
mobile phone.
Rationale
Nomophobia is a
trend to society that could lead to negative results if leave unanswered. The
project aim to bring people back from virtual world and virtual social contact into
real social life.
Methodology/Technology
The methodology
is quite simple, the device uses a passive radio wave detector with low
sensitivity, which will only respond when the detector is near a radio wave
transmitter i.e. Mobile phone. As the detector shows a signal, Arduino
activates the physical feedback device applying unpleasant feeling to the user
encouraging them to drop the phone.
Presentation
I am going to
build several models with different feedback system to allow people to try the
prototypes on location.
