Fuleirinho
Guilherme Pena Costa
A sound-responsive, light-emitting, personal gadget that transmits a crowd's emotions in a sports game.
"Fuleirinho" is a LED device that responds to sound. The electronic gadget will have its first debut on the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. "Fuleirinho" will first be used in a football game and stadium context, where the light will represent the crowd's emotions. The object has an embedded microphone as the input and, as the output, colored LEDs based on the teams' national flags. The device, when used by a crowd, will display amazing visuals, providing an authentic fan experience for the stadium audience and those watching the games on television. The louder the crowd cheers, the brighter the device gets. "Fuleirinho" is a wearable gadget that can be further adapted to different parts of the body.
