Melting Pot!!

As a part of Venture Lab assignment , we were asked to  get to know some other participants in the course. Tarana and I teamed up and came up with venn diagram idea. Being of same age group, studying same program at ITP (NYU) and coming from two different but equally beautiful countries, we had a lot in common, yet we are two different individual who happen to be in New York City.

Midterm: Public Display of Emotion

Project Brief: “Emotional Display” or “Public Display of Emotion”

Project Brief: “Emotion” is the medium, but emotion as it can be interpreted through the body from physical sensors and compared against user’s report of current emotion. (These may include galvanic skin response sensors (skin moistness, heart rate sensing, and body temperature. ) This project an emotion-reporting jukebox, playing or creating a picture or video depending on physical sensors’ inputs and user’s pressing of button options reporting her current emotional state.
