Emotional Technology

Connecting the worlds of psychotherapy to technology is a delicate balance to reach, however, the realm of our emotional health is rarely touched upon by the powerful tools we have the power to create. My project is creating a system to use user gathered data following how we grow and change emotionally, and then bring it into the physical world, as if holding up a mirror to your own habits.

The writing sections focus on your past, then your current mindset, and your aspirations and worries for the future. Using prompts and professional therapist workbooks you can work to understand yourself through writing.

The writing forms the emotional tracking, the habit tracker helps the user work toward their goals. With the option to privately connect with a professional so you can ‘check in’ and know you are headed in the right direction.

The key to this system is that a physical product responds to the user’s emotional journey. This is modeled to respond to how well the user follows their planned journey, growing with them.

Understanding infills

Within 3d printing, infill and scaffolding are what keep the object alive and present, understanding the different types is therefore very important. This investigation is all about seeing inside the object to better know how to make them, and knowing what might be done to make them better.

The slices of the apple, going left to right, use Gyroid infill, Octet, tri-hexagon, and Cross 3d.

On The Other Hand, an exercise in Brexit

The troubles each of us deal with on a daily basis are seen nowhere more than in how we treat others, because of Brexit there has been a strain in having conversations about the future of the country, what might be done, how we might do it. This project is an attempt at streamlining that conversation, leaving less room for pointless arguments, and allowing more discussion to be had between people of opposing views. Have you had conversations that allowed you to voice your opinions, hopes, and fears for the country? If not, this might be the product for you.
