Maluvi
Maluvi is a pair of sunglasses that warns the user of sunburn through visual feedback.
Concept
Even if not visible to the human eye, UV radiation can be extremely harmful to the body. Maluvi's goal is to make this invisible radiation tangible before the affected person feels the negative consequences of too much UV radiation.
Using a built-in UV sensor, Maluvi measures the intensity of the radiation and calculates the remaining time the wearer is allowed to spend in the sun. The time depends on the individual skin type, which can be determined via an app. Shortly before the daily maximum dose of UV radiation is reached, the lenses of the glasses light up red and warn the user.
