And soon other companies who saw opportunities to further improve the concept approached us. Guido van Gageldonk and Wouter Widdershoven from the technology company Unit040, for instance, suggested we switch from QR codes to image recognition. And the final application is conceptualised and designed as a collaboration between all parties involved.
Many interactions between the different partners often take the form of challenges.“ If I can build such an inspiring but low-tech prototype with my hands alone,” we would ask a textile manufacturer,“ how can you build on that idea but do it properly, with the necessary tools and make it so that it is ready for production?” These challenges go in any direction— each development from one partner challenges the others to work further on the ideas. vimeo. com / 54711270
