Abstract

We wear helmets to protect us from injury, but how much more can they do for us in their everyday use? LumaHelm turns the helmet into a display through which we can communicate, express and play. We are exploring how this can make cycling safer, skateboarding more expressive, improve communication on construction sites, and affect any other activity requiring a helmet. Through this design and research process we want to find out what wearable technology in the future may look like and how it can be more intimately integrated in our everyday lives.

Interaction opportunities around helmet design
CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

People wear helmets to protect themselves in case of accidents. We are asking: what other purposes could a helmet serve? Our answer LumaHelm turns the helmet into a display for communication, expression and play. LumaHelm allows us to explore how to ...
Displaying heart rate data on a bicycle helmet to support social exertion experiences
TEI '14: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction

People often engage in physical activity with others, yet wearable technologies like heart rate monitors typically focus on individual usage. In response, we discuss the potential of heart rate displays in a social context, by means of an augmented ...

ACE '07: Proceedings of the international conference on Advances in computer entertainment technology

Computer games do not afford much physical activity and hence do not require significant energy expenditure, which can contribute to the prevalence of a sedentary lifestyle. A "hand exerciser" handgrip can help strengthen hand and forearm muscles ...
