Emotion-Sensing Bracelets

Vinaya's Technological Jewelry Can Create Art Out of the User's Emotions

— June 1, 2016 — Fashion
Design Studio Vinaya has created technological jewelry that can sense the user's emotions and allow them to adjust their lifestyle accordingly.

The sleek minimalist bracelet, entitled Zenta, tracks "heart rate, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, blood oxygen levels, respiration and skin temperature." From this information and information from the user's location, calendar and social media accounts, the bracelet is able to determine the user's emotional and mental state. The connecting app then graphs its findings and allows the user to formulate lifestyle changes that would increase pleasure and decrease stress. It also helps to perform stress-relieving activities such as buzzing with the beat of the user's heart. Another interesting feature of this bracelet is that it will produce "biometric art" based on the user's emotions.

This unique technological jewelry is perfect for both genders due to the neutral colors it comes in and its minimalist design.
