Measure and Display Emotions in Your Home
Philip’s and ABM AMRO collaborated to create a unique way of displaying emotions in your home. The Rationalizer consists of a bracelet (EmoBracelet) that measures galvanic skin response (arousal level) and lights up a display on the bracelet as well as one on the surface of a bowl called the EmoBowl.
The number and color of graphical elements changes as your arousal levels increases or decreases. The initial application was designed for making online investment decisions at home. From a cognitive design standpoint, many other uses for this emotion sensing technology are possible.
The EmoBracelet+Bowl are meant as prototype concepts (versus commercial products) so the companies can learn more about the domain of sensing emotions.
