Idea:

A digital interface to display lifespan in numerical form and also and offers an alternative to currency. RFID used to transfer currency.

What interface solutions are needed?

Cybernetic UI

Who are we interfacing for?

Regular people, General population.

Do those users have limitations we must design for?

- Amputees: they would not be able to use the interface.

Solution: Robotic limbs

- Blind: Unable to visually see the interface

Solution: Brail

What is the content?

The future, personal data display of life span, currency.

Installing and designing a cybernetic user interface, to display visually

How do we deliver the information?

Digitally through microchip/motherboard and LEDs

Is it interactive?

Yes, the user can interact with the interface, and view their caloric intake, heart rate, finance and more

What previous solution exist?

Microchip - Previously used to geo-locate dogs and contain information such as owner, address etc.

Age: 32

Occupation: Stock Broker

Scenario: John works in central London within the stock broker industry and has a very well paid job. He recently got his Life Chip installed and is now able to see his life span in numerical form digitally displayed on his arm as a result he ensures that he makes use of every second of his day. At the end of Johns shift he received his pay check in the form of time, he simply inserted his arm into the time sleeve and his time was uploaded to his chip and in real time updated on his arm increasing his lifespan.

Networked Civil Disobedience: Hacktivism with Special Guest Heath Bunting

What is Tactical Media? Tactical media is a phrase that has been around since 1966 and can be defined as "a form of media activism that privileges temporary, hit-and-run interventions in the media sphere over the creation of permanent and alternative media outlets"(En.wikipedia.org, 2018) The purpose of tactical media lies with the type of information that it produces, it is generally a way of reversing the one-way-flow of communication between corporations and the public, and bringing balance and/or a retaliation from the public.

Smart Everything: Machine Sensing and Awareness Concept

My Concept: For this topic I have come up with the concept of a smart dog collar which communicates to the owner through a smart phone app, sending notifications when it is time to feed your dog, or display statistics about your walks, how long, how many calories etc or when it is time for a walk or a treat. Allowing the user to personalise the experience by setting your dogs name through the app, so it is as if you are communicating with your dog. It can also allow for GPS tracking of your dog where-ever he is so you will not have to worry about ever losing him/her again. I believe the market is ready for something like this as I would personally use it after recently losing my dog, I can say it is not a pleasant experience, and using something like this will provide someone relatively new to owning a dog with a routine and discipline. Concept App: Dog collar:
