This project was a collaboration with Neumafit, a South Korean startup that analyzes biometric data through respiratory signals. Together, we worked on Pacer, a compact and innovative running support device that miniaturizes the functions of high-end equipment used by professional athletes.
By connecting with a smartphone and utilizing AI technology, Pacer provides real-time feedback on workout performance and physical condition based on breathing patterns. The design explored various structures and forms to ensure easy cleaning and reduce user fatigue during exercise. Despite its complex technology, the simple circular front form enhances approachability and suits daily use.
