Нательные «умные» устройства и электронные ткани – это новое решение для будущих «гибридных» поколений, которые объединят в себе людей и девайсы. В этом году участникам предлагают разработать устройства, которые помогут установить связь с окружающей средой: от инновационных материалов и нательной электроники до протезов. Фантазия конкурсантов ничем не ограничена, однако идеи должны быть потенциально реализуемыми и соответствовать рыночным тенденциям. От участников требуется подготовить убедительный сценарий по реализации продукта.
The Challenge of RESHAPE V focuses on future applications of Wearable Tech and Smart Products, inviting creative minds to predict new trends, elaborate novel solutions, and recalibrate existing markets in the direction of more sustainable models.
Our goal is to redefine contemporary devices towards a new generation of cognitive nodes, connecting us to our habitats and ecosystems.
We look forward to receiving project proposals aimed at questioning, in a constructive and creative way, the role of technology in the definition of new paradigms for your society. Whether applicants decide to address the nature of social relations, the sustainability of our models of production, or the emerging necessities resulting from the technological change, bridging a gap between the human and the digital is one of the core tasks.
The divide between innovation and human, environmental, and social development is only apparent – at least potentially, or theoretically. On a mission to reconcile these salient dimensions of the human experience, project submissions are expected to envision future needs promoting new products, predict market trends and novel ways of interaction, and build on rapid prototyping and digital manufacturing to produce custom solutions.
In a changing world, cognified devices carry the answers to some of the most pressing challenges posed to our customary norms and ways of doing things. Truly revolutionary projects should then design solutions that improve our lifestyle, without forgetting about the scalability proper of new, distributed market models.
