description

iPod Status is a wearable information display. It reads the artist and title of the currently playing song on one's iPod, and presents this info on a small screen that attaches to any messenger bag shoulder strap. Many of us have taken rides on public transportation and wondered what the interesting-looking person beside us is listening to. iPod Status is intended to encourage social connectedness by making this hidden information visible.

Exhibited at Seamless V2, and subsequently written up by the Boston Globe.
