Project Overview
Emotional Bloom is an interactive wearable-device system designed to visualise emotional states through a blooming flower. By collecting heart rate and body temperature data from a bracelet, the system interprets physiological changes and responds through petal movement and coloured light. The project explores how internal emotions can be externalised in a gentle and poetic way, without relying on verbal communication.
A bio-responsive flower that translates heart rate and body temperature into colour and movement, turning invisible emotions into a soft, non-verbal form of expression.
User Instruction
