Headshot

Made in collaboration with Juhye Lee and Jeff Gough.


I'm still not sure what to say about this one. We wanted to make a robotic gun chair and managed to sell Rio Tinto on the idea as speculative R&D for the Paralympics. The rider wears a special headset that allows them to rotate the platform on two axes by moving their head and to fire the gun by blowing into a sensor.

This thing goes pretty fast.

Headshot has been featured on CNN, British Channel 4 News, and elsewhere in the media. It was exhibited at Imperial College London in March 2012 and again at the Wellcome Collection in June 2012.
