I was recently invited by TechDept to speak at their inaugural Tech Off, and their far more eloquent blog of the night can be found here.

Third on the bill, I went into a bit of history about myself and the work I had been involved in, basically looking at how ‘invisible technology’ and barrierless entry is the key to experience. My closer was that I had managed to get my hands on a couple of the XOX bands, unveiled at Cannes this year, as part of the New Directors Showcase.

According to Dan @ TechDept, I took everyone on a ‘journey where technology and emotion fuse, to create experiences which elevate the mind and the mood, building data points throughout. He demoed an amazing wristband – the XOX emotional technology platform, as showcased with Saatchi and Saatchi at Cannes – which changes colour based on how you on your arousal and emotion, their service then interprets the data to show the intimate feelings of an audience in real time.’ 

Thanks Dan @ TechDept for making me sound good!
