Inspired by invisible computing, the augmentation of human capabilities and biological sensing, this module expands beyond wearable electronics to explore how living systems, biofabrication, electronics and advanced materials can create responsive interfaces between the human body and the environment.
Participants investigate biocompatible materials, biosensing and the topic of Beauty Technology, integrating microcontrollers and advanced cosmetic technologies, such as FX e-makeup, directly onto the skin, nails and hair, to transform the body’s surface into an interactive platform.
