Build history
Project timeline
- 01
Bring the Garage48 prototype forward
Take the Yellow Blue Bus idea from Garage48 Visual Hackathon 2018 into a new hackathon context focused on love, relationships, communication, and intimacy.
- 02
Shift toward emotional translation
Continue the concept as a tool for helping people communicate emotion across language barriers, including voice analysis and short-video signals.
- 03
Archive the longer question
Keep Yellow Blue Bus as an early HAAM reference for localization, cultural interface design, emotional ambiguity, and technology that should support understanding without overclaiming certainty.
Longer tail
What happened after the hackathon
Current status
Continuation build archived as a blog post
LOVEHACK Minsk 2018 continued Yellow Blue Bus after its Garage48 Visual Hackathon origin. The most useful artifact today is the HAAM article that explains the project as an emotional translation experiment.
- The two Minsk hackathons should remain separate records in the archive.
- The connection belongs at the project level: Yellow Blue Bus moved from one temporary build room to another.
- The LOVEHACK article is the best narrative entry point for the project after the archive card.
