- Wearable Sanitizer: Design and Implementation of an Open-source, On-body Sanitizer
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
We present an open-source, wearable sanitizer that provides just-in-time, automatic dispensing of alcohol to the wearer’s hand or nearby objects using sensors and programmable cues. We systematically explore the design space for wearable sanitizer aiming to create a device that not only seamlessly integrates with the user’s body.
