Tempo
An essential accessory for the avid live music enthusiast which enhances the music listening experience. By utilising the smart sensors within the product, it creates a personal and streamlined experience; the use of this accessory will eliminate the need for phones/wallets at events.
the problem
For festival-goers, the need to bring your phone, wallet and other necessary belongings can be lost or easily stolen at music events. As well as constantly losing battery on your phone while trying to look at the set times or just trying to find the nearest bathroom can be a massive burden on the whole music experience. The festival experience can become troublesome and irritating at times. This is where tempo streamlines the experience.

She has a constant bad habit of misplacing keys, phone and wallet and has had to replace her credit card 3 times in the last 2 years. At the age of 12, her father brought her to a U2 concert which started her love of live music.
