My girlfriend is training for the Sydney Running Festival Marathon (September 2013). The training is with a group called CanToo that raise money for cancer research and offer professional training and a great group of people for spending the many hard number hours out on the road.
In order to make the training a bit more fun and to advertise both the CanToo cause and the effort and distances being run we came up with the idea of a wearable device worn whilst running that would indicate to bystanders the distances of the training runs and allow for a few other messages.
We wanted to be able to display on the back of a hat the distance that a Garmin GPS had measured for a run, the distance left for the day and some motivational messages for fun and general support.
The thinking was to create a hat mountable display that could connect to a Garmin Forerunner 410 (over ANT) and read out the distance for the run and display.
