Getting Real with Connected Devices

Sold out

— Free workshop presented by R/GA —

Learn to connect users, products and their physical environments to create experiences that are useful, memorable, and just plain fun.

R/GA, the agency behind the Nike FuelBand and Tweeting Cigarette, is hosting this workshop that focuses on the basics of creating interactive physical prototypes. In three hours, we will cover an end-to-end process of generating ideas, aligning them with user behaviors and turning them into actual physical creations.

You’ll work with a range of sensors (e.g. motion, distance, temperature), practice with pre-written code snippets and learn how to connect all that with a modular development kit. By the end, you’ll have a solid handle of the approach and, most importantly, confidence to implement your own groundbreaking connected ideas.
