01· the project
> A project for Samsung, with Espadaysantacruz.
The tap on the head, replaced by a vibration.
A swimming cap that vibrates when the coach signals the turn, replacing the tap on the head with a pole that blind swimmers train with. Made for Samsung with the Spanish Paralympic Committee; we co-developed the coach apps for the Galaxy S7 and the Gear S2 watch. The campaign won Gold in Mobile at Cannes Lions 2016.
