Caroline Sinders created a prototype of a wearable watch that told time in terms of user’s schedule. She uses Python, Google Calendar API, Arduino, LEDs, Illustrator to create this prototype. I like that it is a new way of thinking about time and the idea makes sense to me. We typically only want to know the time in reference to an event, so this watch will tell us how much time we have left until that event. I would be curious to try this way of telling time out and see how it works for me.
Caroline Sinders is in her own words a “machine learning designer/user researcher, artist, and digital anthropologist.” She is interested in natural language processing and how it intersects with artificial intelligence, abuse, online harassment, and politics in digital, conversational spaces. She founded Convocation Design + Research agency. Here they focus on the intersections of machine learning, user research, designing for public good, and solving difficult communication problems.
