Spectrace – Twins

How much light do you receive over the course of a day? What type of light enters your eyes? Spectrace, a new piece of wearable tech, could soon provide the answers to these questions. In a groundbreaking move, researchers at EPFL’s Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design (LIPID) have teamed up with teachers and students from Geneva School of Art and Design (HEAD – Genève) to develop a light sensor concept.

I proposed and designed a first prototype named “Twins” which rests around the neck like a pair of headphones to be worn all day long – at work, during exercise and in social settings. From my proposal, a second prototype in 3d printing and leather was then designed by a–project studio.
