Our project is dedicated to the space around dreams and our ability to process our emotions, moods and stress in our sleep. We want to explore using objects in the bedroom as transactive memory and emotional deposits. Our goal is to enable users to be reflective of and to clear their heads of their emotions and ideas before they sleep, so that they do not lay in bed brooding.

The Mind Jar allows you to purge these worries and anxiety we take to our bed. The platform has paper and pen on which you can write your worries. You then fold the paper, drop it in the Mind jar and listen to the satisfying infinity dropping sound and let go of your worries and stress.

Mood Mobile reflects user mood depending on their day’s events when they settle into bed. The interaction with the mobile motivates deeper reflection and acceptance during rest period for the user.

Rise and Shine reflects the mood of the user based on previous day's input and wakes him or her up while motivaing them. It uses color and sound to enable the user to awake and to reflect on the emotions and stress that they have been subject to.

Runners or joggers are sensitive to temperature. If it is cold outside, there's higher chance we might get injured or catch a cold after running. So, how can we tell whether it is good day to run or not? This project provides answer to that question in an indirect, but in a clear way.

People who live in a home furnished with bathtub sometimes thinks of taking a bath at their home. But, every time they fill up their tub, the user constantly checks the temperature of the water with their hands. Wetting their hands all the time. What if you have a sensor that tells you what exact temperature is? If so, all you have to do is to turn the knob as you want the temperature to be. Keep yourself dry until the last moment you jump into your tub!
