concept
The ITS Made in FVG project used creativity to highlight the excellence of the manufacturing capabilities of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in Italy. Bianca Chong, a former ITS finalist, has been challenged to conceive a futuristic jewelry piece capable of measuring data like time, vital signs and more from the wearer’s surroundings. An artistic speculation based on the idea of wearable technology. This conceptual project has been developed working side by side with Eurotech, a company from the region working internationally on Artificial Intelligence at the highest level. Present-day available technology will represents the jump-start to imagine an open future where these technological barriers will have disappeared. Eurotech supported the ITS finalist offering its immense scientific and technological know-how as well as its visions. Prototypes have been developed with the support of Eurotech and of other companies in Friuli Venezia Giulia operating at the technological forefront.
