“Chronobelt” [2014]

“Chronobelt”

Outline

How will our senses evolve if our biological clock were correct by the second? In this research we pursuit the answer to this question by using Chronobelt, which is a device that allows the users to wear the correct time. 12 vibration actuators embedded in the Chronobelt vibrate according to the hands of a clock. By wearing this belt daily, users can understand subjective time objectively and perceive daily occurrences by measuring time and speed. Moreover, wearing this belt for a long period of time may provide a new measurement for the user’s subjective time. Chronobelt is the future model of a watch and is an attempt to redefine the relations between people and the environment through time.
