DoES Liverpool had a great time at Liverpool Makefest on Saturday. We showed off what we do and make, made new friends and got back in contact with some old ones. Thanks to everyone who helped out as exhibitors, volunteers, and behind the scenes. Also to the Makefest organisers, especially Mark and Jen who worked so hard to make the event a success.

For those who couldn’t be there, here’s a selection of DoES-related photos, mainly from Twitter and Instagram …

The Electric Liverbird (on the 2nd floor):

My #ESP device prototype, the haptic motor feeds back a representation of data from a sensor which detects something you can't with your own human biology. By feeling the motor you gain a new sense! #sensor #augmentation #metahuman #cyborg #extrasensory #wearableelectronics #makersrule #livmf17
