With our wearable device we are investigating our perception of the environmental issues, and translating it into a tactile instrument with usage of soft robotics. It is common knowledge that there is an excess of CO2 in atmosphere, and we still contribute to it. Even though it is not something that visibly influences our everyday lives, it has a huge impact on us and a number of other species, as well as on the planet. We intend to create a new way of perceiving environmental issues, and the device provides a new way of interacting with the world, taking into consideration the importance of the balanced existence of humans, technology, and nature.
