Final Project – Whereband

We developed the Whereband to help active individuals come together to create a better exercising experience. The Whereband uses a Light Blue Bean to broadcast its GPS coordinates to a database, from that point the GPS coordinates are transmitted to the nearest tracked phone. On the band itself are several Servo motors which apply light pressure in the direction of the closet user. This gives runners or cyclists or etc a physical sensation that guides them to other users, creating a more motivating and social exercising session.
