Sensemakers Workshop DIY Smart Glasses

Featured image

During this evening Paul Stefaan Mooij will introduce the DIY Smart Glasses he developed, he is bringing several 'arms'. The PMSG kit lets you swap out those boring old arms from your (sun)glasses for a custom-made PCBA that looks and functions like something a hacker MacGyver would dream up. It fits just like the originalโ€”using the same hinges, screws, and probably duct tape somewhereโ€”but now youโ€™ve got space for sensors, connectors, and all the IoT magic you can pack onto your temples.

Join us to experiment, learn and envision new sensors and possibilities.
