Exploring senses, movement, and connections

Learning from previous posts about Mind your GAPS and 5 ways of mental wellbeing, we try shape our design to stimulate people senses, trigger physical activity, and connect with their surroundings.

Using sight, scent, sound to stimulate awareness and physical movement, we want to create an interactive theme projection around mood tree. The interactive theme projection aims to trigger positive feelings and physical movement.

mood tree and interactive themed projection

Design elements :

1. Mood tree

Mood tree will project the sentinent data from people's interaction into colors.

2. Visual and scent projector

A device that will project interactive theme around the tree, spray out scents. The theme will be designed to make people move around it.

3. Voice sensor ( for sentinent analysis )

During activity, there will be sensors capturing people's words, laughter, tone. These all will be translated into colors and lighten the mood tree.

Furthermore, to Make this experience accessible for other people who are not at close proximity with the tree, a supplementary portable device and sensors that reflects the same will be placed in public spaces.

Also sharing from my personal visit to Singapore Art sciene museum, I was happy playing with this interactive slide.
