The 'Badgeware' programmable displays are a modernized take on the humble conference badge that will elevate them from a simple way to identify oneself into an advanced wearable device.
The displays come in the form of a series of wearables that can be programmed according to the needs and preferences of the administrator or the end user. The displays come in three options including the Badger, Tufty and the Blinky, which come in at 2.7-inches, 2.8-inches and 3.6-inches in size, respectively. The units have an e-paper display, full color IPS panel or a grid of 872 white LEDs, depending on the model.
The 'Badgeware' programmable displays are powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2350 chip and are paired with translucent polycarbonate shells in different colors for an added touch of personality.
