Poster Statement

Keywords: Data Visualization, Digital Fabrication, 3D Modeling, Programming, Speculative Design, Wearables, Processing

Abstract

Hello, I am is a futuristic prototype to embody digital identity. Hello, I am dynamically generates visualizations each day (24 hours) based on keyword usage in an individual’s software applications. The visualizations metaphorically represent an individual’s holistic mood throughout the day. Hello, I am is a personal emblem to the wearer. Thus, its physical design extends beyond decorative jewelry and becomes a bolder part of an individual’s appearance.
