Toronto: Day 5,6,7
Day five started out with a visit to the rehab department at Mount Sinai Hospital. One of my previous projects Voiceture used a glove that could be used for rehabilitation purposes as well. The most impressive project was the use of a new kind of polymer that shows an effect opposite of piezoelectricity, ie stretches or compresses based on electric pulses. This could then be hooked onto the nerves to make artificial limbs. Lots of cool ideas to think about.
The second half of the day was spent at the Much Music broadcast station. This building broadcasts about 50 television and radio stations. Lots of cool technology being used here.
All of day six was spent at a biomimicry session. I’ll make a separate post on this later.
Day seven was time to pack up and go home. By this time, my brain was being overloaded with information. That is all.
