How the Internet of Things (IoT) is invading our lives. And so apt that a Liverpool based independent creative agency had to design a football related IoT product.
Uniform has designed a prototype exploring how the IoT could connect football fans to Online conversations about their team. Kixl is a physical object that flickers and changes colour to represent the number of tweets being sent using a chosen hashtag.
It glows green when there isn’t much activity, flaring orange as conversation builds, and red when the conversation is buzzing.
With Kixl users can passively consume real time Internet data, actively glancing at it with a spare thought. Alternatively, noticing a sudden colour change in peripheral vision gives the freedom to feel connected to the conversation without devoting specific time and energy to consuming the information.
