After thinking about the project idea we have decided to go for the emotion system but changing it slightly. We looked at the consternation of watching a movie where you pick the film , sit in a chair put on the telly and more.We thought trying to use all of the elements within the consternation wouldn't work so we are just going to use the chair/couch.
Our first project proposal is to create a emotion sensitive couch/sofa that able to read and detect user’s emotion and automatically triggered an appropriate task that has been assigned to. The objective of the sofa is to change the user’s negative emotion, give user a calmness by providing an automatic function that we believe can change the user’s mood.
The first function that we want to embedded in our sofa is an automatic heater that can produce a significant heat to the sofa’s surface as well as using some mini fans to be able to cool the chair and the person if required. The couch with also feature vibration motors to massage your back along with speakers that will play music aim to change your mood. As each persons vision of relaxation is different there will be an intail setup need for the coach.Allowing the user to customize what happens and what music gets played depending on there own specific mood. That way the user can then go on never having to click a button or look at a screen and can just sit down and relax.
To detect the emotion , we are thinking since stress balls are already on the market. A device that when being are mad the squeeze it to release anger. We thought why not add a pressure sensor and a little bit of WiFi in order to capture the user's stress level through out the day. Again the ball will need to be calibrated on first user as not all users will be able to squeeze at the same amount of strength. That way the ball will be personalized to the user.
Trying to learn from the Designing the connected everyday and the computer for 21st century. We want the device not to isolated people from one another and not be a distractions when company is over. The chair will only become activate when it is sat in and wont disturb you otherwise. The technology will all be hidden inside the ball and couch apart from an SD card on the side to allow you to change your songs over time.
