ICT Experiment Lab: Let's Make Christmas Decorations Connected to People and Earth

About this event

This event is a workshop to create interactive Christmas decorations that connect with participants' stories using geomagnetic sensors and IoT. Using the visual programming language UIFlow2, participants will build Christmas ornaments that use geomagnetic sensors to detect magnetic fields and light up, make sounds, or vibrate upon receiving the data. While picturing distant ornaments reacting to the magnetic field around them, participants can reflect on the stories of the Earth, the environment, and human life. To receive geomagnetism at home and transmit it to the created ornament, a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi environment (802.11 b/g/n) and an internet-connected device (PC or tablet recommended) are required. Exhibition planner and programmer Takuya Shimada will serve as the instructor.
