BB.Suit 0.2: Wearable Clean Air
Wearable technology that aids environmental problems solution by its integration in everyday life.
Taking inspiration from Beijing's air pollution issues, BB Suit is really about raising awareness of what wearable technology can mean for us in the future. The platform is formed through its communication features by means of Wifi and GPS. The unique functionality of the BB.Suit is the Cold Plasma technology and air quality measurement technology, both integrated into the fabric. Cold Plasma is a technology, which splits oxygen and water molecules into free radicals. These radicals react easily with toxic gases, bacteria, viruses and dust in order to clean the air. Since our clothing is constantly in contact with the air surrounding us it creates an opportunity to clean the polluted air. The integrated air quality sensor generates location-based data by measuring the concentration of Carbon Monoxide, Methane and LPG in the air. When combining this data from all the wearers, a precise analysis of the air quality can be made, enabling people to react more effective to the pollution.
