Dorkbot CPH was held at CIID in Copenhagen. We did a presentation about Biometric Social Interaction while it was still in its stages of infancy but had a great discussion and met some fantastic people in the process!

2. GeekPhysical
Bringing geeking into the physical world.
Power usage? Social norms? Physical body? Electronics?

3. BioMetrics
Feedback from body signals such as:
Heart Rate Temperature Breath

5. Biometric Social Interaction
• Using body signals to tell us what is
happening when people interact.
• 3 Projects:
• Critical Corset
• Bio System 1
• Bio System 2 (Wireless)
• Necklace

6. Critical Corset
Tightens when your heart rate goes up
Monday, February 7, 2011
7. Concept
Corset tightens as your heart rate rises

8. Technical: Prototype 1Fabric corset didn’t
hold hourglass shape, and instead
expanded when tightened.

13. Conclusions
Conditioning of wearing the corset can have
intriguing results, making the wearer more aware
of their own physiological reactions.
Public awareness means that people will be
playful in their interactions and will initiate contact.

14. The Next Level
Heart Rate wasn’t enough.
• Heart Rate could activity, caffeine... etc.
anything, physical
have been caused by
• We needed to breath. more. Thus,
temperature /
measure

15. A new system
• The new system
measured heart rate,
temperature and
breath.
• It outputted this
information in the
form of a visualization
that everyone could
see.
Monday, February 7, 2011
18. • 2 Questions: How do people react to talking
to each other? How do people react when
they know their bio-signals are being shown
to everyone else?

19. Improving the system
• It would be ideal to:
• Have a smaller more portable system
• Have more than one person interact
• Have a wireless system
