Do fitness trackers and smartwatches change how runners feel and behave? How do tech companies affect runners?
What does this mean for fitness in today’s world?
The iRunner film project takes a closer look at these questions.
Based on research by Dr Lee Pretlovewith with runners to understand their experiences, Human Studio – a Sheffield creative team with global credentials in design, animation and immersive experience – has created a short film to showcase the project’s results which will be displayed at the Futurecade exhibition at the Millennium Gallery with the researcher.
The film cam also be viewed online through the University of Sheffield’s Player.
The iRunner project wants to raise attention about how both we and companies use digital information about our lives and prompts us to think about healthy information technology use and design in fitness.
Millennium Gallery opening times Tuesday–Saturday: 10am–5pm (closed Mondays) Sunday: 11am–4pm
