A ubicomp concept combining clothing and bluetooth/mobile phone technology, the MoBeeLine uses the text messages of others to present certain shapes on the user’s jacket.
This is another novel idea of using technology to link us all together. The potential of this technology is rather limitless. In regards to the IAG – and the fact that we can presume most public viewers have a mobile phone – we could provide them with a number to text and portray a giant accumilation of words artistically portrayed over a wall.
Constraints: Firstly the oppurtunity for punks to upload rude words onto the display would be the most obvious constraint – possibly a word filter/blocker could be implemented. As I have stated in a previous blog; trusting the public is not something we have the luxery of doing. What ever is developed – no matter how amazing, is vunerable to the ‘interactor’, whether he/she be a typical person of interest or a ‘punk kid’ up to no good.
I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine.Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music that he's created over the years - I don't really listen to it. But the fact that he's making it, I respect that.
