EmotiSphere

Mapping emotions to music

with Sara Burns and Galen Chuang

I was in charge of:
-creating the visual materials
-3D modelling and physically engineering the prototype
-coding the volume control interactions

Defined interactions

Orb reads emotions (i.e. happy or sad)

Using arduino processing, we algorithmically send data from the emotion read to PD to compose music. The file is saved for the user to play.

Currently, the sound is played through nearby speakers but in the future a speaker could be added inside the base

The nuts and bolts (arduino) inside the orb

3D printed base and stopper has reed sensors and magnet to track rotation to increase/ decrease volume

Bonus initial concept sketches

To be Completed
