Susan, Vivia, Joseph, Sharon & I metup in the Art Center College of Design (main campus) Cafatera from about noon-6p today to work on our presentation for WearableTechLA on Thursday. We weren’t able to reconsider our hardware solution, but we did take the opportunity to consider the Extreme Wearable Designathon Judge’s advice to move past the Find Water use case, and think more about Wayfinding.

We developed an Ephemeral Wayfinding scenario and created presentation slides. I got to live out my lifelong dream of being a Wearable Tech Hand Model! Here are some images from our day:

A walk in New York City with Andy Warhol… The Silver Factory where he was shot… the back room at Max’s Kansas City where he told Edie Sedgwick that Bob Dylan had secretly gotten married… the street where he ran into Keith Haring chalking on the asphalt…
