A wearable device to interact with strangers from your phone.
- TXTual InteractionsTXTual Interactions is an exploration of what it will take to illicit a response from strangers when providing a non verbal call to action. The project functions by embedding an LCD display in a jacket and sending messages to it via bluetooth from an Android app. How likely is someone across the subway to talk to me if I display a message about where I’m going? How likely are they to talk to me if I ask them a question? How likely are they to talk to me if I comment on the book they are reading? How likely are they to talk to someone else if I ask two strangers to introduce themselves to each other? What impact does changing who wears the jacket have upon influencing these interactions? Changing and testing these variables is the basis for this sociological experiment. Further documentation of these results are in development.
