The project title EAPS, is an acronym for Embodied Air Pollutant Sensor. It is an adjustable headband which inflates when it comes into contact with dangerous levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Examples of common VOCs include formaldehyde, butadiene and methylene chloride. These compounds can be produced by paint, varnishes, dry cleaning, and even photocopiers. The aim of EAPS is to extend the human ability to detect VOCs independent of sight and smell, with the assistance of the air quality sensor located at the front of the headband. There is one more sensor attached to the inside back of the headband, to ensure EAPS activates only when the band is being worn. The soft and slightly porous construction allows the headband to give a little as it inflates, decreasing the chance of bursting or causing too much pressure for the user. Our intention was not to crush their skull, but to subtly alert them to their invisible surrounds.
