| summary |
The features of the built environment can affect many aspects of human health and well- being, including emotional and mental health. This paper presents a novel approach to applying emerging, interactive technologies in the design of interior surfaces with the goal of assisting building users in the modulation of their emotional states. Using a biofeed- back approach based on real-time neurological data—in other words, a brain-computer interface—the Emotive Room project responds to users' stress levels with changes in the color and form of the interior environment. These changes are designed to help promote calmness when users are stressed, and to promote higher energy levels when users are calm. The paper describes the methods that were used to create the Emotive Room environment, the scientific grounding for our approach, and the accessible fabrications methods that were employed. Potential applications and future research paths related to the project are discussed. |
