REWAKE
REWAKE is a design exercise that exists at the nexus of mobile technologies, networked objects and board sports. The goal of the process is to determine whether I can design a system capable of re-interpreting the experience of skiing/boarding into a meaningful visual and sonic re-recreation.

REWAKE is a design exercise that exists at the nexus of mobile technologies, networked objects and board sports. The goal of the process is to determine whether I can design a system capable of re-interpreting the experience of skiing/boarding into a meaningful visual and sonic re-recreation.
REWAKE is a framework consisting of a modular, self-contained networked device equipped with a accelerometer and bluetooth transmitter, a Nokia 80 Smartphone and a custom visual software suite. It is rigorously designed to be used in conjunction with board-sports, surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding and skiing.
This framework allows for the greatest mobility with the smallest physical infrastructure. The combination of the highly mobile sensor device and Smartphone provide unrestricted use within a variety of environments.
This goal is in celebrating the convergence of mobile technologies and networked objects to both encourage and enhance our experiences within the real world. It seeks to capture artifacts of our experiences, enabling them to re-examined, re-interpreted, re-created and re-distributed.
