MESH
Smart DIY kit
SONY CorporationSmart DIY and sharing platform for easily linking electronic tags to things, actions or conditions wirelessly, encouraging everyone to be a “maker”. Requires no special skills or expertise. To define tag operations, users simply drag icons in an app. Because the circuitry is housed in a simple enclosure combining two square blocks, one inch on a side, the tags look like other common items at home or work. A grid of squares is also found on the app screen, which keeps the design consistent and invitingly simple.
iF Gold Statement
MESH takes a playful and accessible approach to programming and to logic and hardware/software interaction, two topics of growing importance. The product enables users to interact directly with the virtual and physical world by trial and error. It has a very consistent, straightforward, simple and clean design, which underscores the function of each element and is also reflected in the design elements of the software. Two words: great work!
