01 The idea

Who’s steering your ship?

A big drawn hand on the wall, and a speech bubble with a question mark. Everyone knows what to do with a hand.

Slap it, and the question mark turns into a question. Eleven of them, in Swedish and English, about AI and about who decides. Who is the captain of your ship: you, or the algorithm?

02 Under the hood

1.3 g

  • An ESP32 with an accelerometer sits behind the chipboard. Anything over 1.3 g counts as a high five.
  • The question is typed out on an iPad, letter by letter, and never repeats the one before.
  • If the sensor freezes, a watchdog on the server notices and reboots it. The iPad reloads every night.
  • Every high five pulses the skills cube, and sings in the room’s mobility and skills corner.

Got something big to say? Let’s make it a place.
