Design, Strategy, & Practice Week 8: Body Language Newsfeed

Body Language Newsfeed is the logical end to the religion of oversharing. For a day, using an accelerometer strapped on my hand and a Wi-Fi microcontroller, I will be transmitting all of my movements to a server, which will perform basic activity detection (sitting up, sitting down, walking forward, turning left/right, jumping, etc.) and serve the detected activities in a format that everyone is familiar with: the real-time feed. People will finally have the ability to like, comment on, and share all my small, beautiful moments of nonverbal communication, giving me precious feedback on which ways of movement will maximize the engagement of my brand.
