RU OK Day Features 3D Printed Internet of Things Device

Today, September 8, is R U OK? Day in Australia, intended as a campaign to prevent suicide in which participants ask the question "Are you okay?" of those someone may be worried about. This year, R U OK? is working with a new ambassador, who is set to travel Australia for the next year. Quentin, the ambassador, is intended to start one million conversations about suicide prevention -- and he is also a 3D printed Internet of Things device ready to be passed along in his million conversations in the style of the Olympic torch, passing from hand to hand on his mission. Created for R U OK? with partner WPP AUNZ agency Fusion, and 3D modeled and produced by Convert Studios, Quentin the question mark's journey began today and culminates on 2017's R U OK? Day. Quentin's translucent skin was designed via 3D printing and machining, allowing internal low-power LEDs to shine through with his messages, powered by his Arduino internals. The R U OK? website will publish Quentin's exploits, from challenges issued to distance traveled to the number of keepers minding him. So far, he's gone two kilometers and completed seven challenges in seven conversations. His journey can also be tracked by using hashtag #ruok365, where social media users can keep up with Quentin.
