Abstract

Taifūrin is a novel typhoon early warning system that informs people when a typhoon is approaching. We combined a traditional Japanese wind-chime (known as fūrin) with near real-time remotely-sensed typhoon data and electronic components connected to a single-circuit board computer to create a unique IoT (Internet of Things) device in the form of a simple art installation. In doing so, we aimed to combine modern interactivity with a traditional sense of Japanese aesthetics, known as wabi-sabi.
