description

iPod Status is a wearable information display. It reads the artist and title of the currently playing song on one's iPod, and presents this info on a small screen that attaches to any messenger bag shoulder strap. Many of us have taken rides on public transportation and wondered what the interesting-looking person beside us is listening to. iPod Status is intended to encourage social connectedness by making this hidden information visible.
