The brief was to help with cost effective technological solution that could save fishermen from unknowingly crossing into International waters and getting caught by maritime police of other countries and face long jail terms.
Solution
We turned the masks into alarm systems that warned fishermen as they got close to international waters. A GPS system was attached, that tracked the co-ordinates of the boats. As they neared the international boarder the alarm was triggered. This alerted them to turn back. Over 2000 masks were distributed across coastal villages & they have been activated over 15, 000 times in multiple regions.
