Cait Carapella created an app and medical headband called Transphoria to help relieve anxiety and improve mood. Through ethnographic research, they observed how people relaxed in different environments with natural light, quiet spaces, and time in nature. Their interim proposal was for a headband that uses touch, smell, music and light to calm the user efficiently without drugs. The documents describe developing the brand, motion studies, interface designs and features for logging anxiety levels and controlling scents/sounds.

The document discusses a proposed mobile app called Consurge that would track and display a user's electrical consumption in their kitchen. The app would show energy usage in real time, compare usage to past performance, and convert usage data into monetary costs to raise users' awareness of wasting resources. Ethnographic research on cooking behaviors identified needs for more organization, less waste, and tools to reduce consumption that the app aims to address.
Cait Carapella created an interim proposal for an anxiety-relieving headband for her Embedded Media Design class. The headband would use touch sensors, scents, music and light to help relieve anxiety efficiently without drugs. Ethnographic research found that people relaxed through natural light, calm surroundings, spending time with friends and alcohol. The proposal was for a headband that provides a similar anxiety-relieving experience through personalized sensory adjustment. Development included brand naming, soundscapes, motion studies and app prototypes to track anxiety levels and control the headband.
The document appears to be notes from Laura Garcia Rodriguez for a class project on embedded media design and human behavior. It documents her ethnographic research process, including observations of customer behavior in grocery stores. Based on identified behaviors, she proposes a mobile application called "Shop n' Go" to create smart grocery lists. The application would help users locate products in stores and make the shopping process more efficient by providing information like aisle locations and nutrition facts.
This document discusses Cait Carapella's class project for Embedded Media Design Fall 2014, taught by Professor Tom Klinkowstein. The project focuses on technology affecting the mind. The document outlines Carapella's ethnographic research where she observed people improving their mood in different ways such as being in calm, quiet surroundings with natural light. Her research identified two unmet needs - a product that could efficiently affect mood and one that increases mood with no side effects.
The document discusses Cait Carapella's class project on how technology can affect the mind. It describes her conducting ethnographic research where she observed people improving their moods in different ways. Some key findings were that natural light, quiet surroundings, and spending time with others helped people feel relaxed, calm, joyful, or focused. The interim proposal suggests a small medical earpiece that could efficiently improve mood, mental health, and sleep patterns using light, sound, and tracking features.
Cait Carapella is a student taking an Embedded Media Design course in fall 2014. Her project focuses on technology that affects the mind. Through ethnographic research, she observed people relaxing and improving their moods in various ways, such as natural light, quiet surroundings, and spending time with friends. She identified an unmet need for something that could efficiently and naturally relieve anxiety without side effects from substances. Her interim proposal is for a small headband that uses sensors and stimuli like sound, light, smell and touch to relieve anxiety through monitoring brain activity and other biometrics.
The document discusses observations of human behavior in grocery stores. It notes that people with more options take longer to make decisions, and that people read labels carefully before selecting products. Groups also take longer to decide than individuals. When choosing produce, people prefer to pick items themselves rather than buy pre-packaged options. Having a grocery list helps people make quicker decisions. The document suggests opportunities like providing fewer but better options, easier to read labels, and better ways to find desired products based on these observations of unmet needs.
This document outlines Ryan Schoenherr's proposal for an app called Consurge that tracks kitchen resource consumption. The app would use devices connected to appliances to monitor electricity, water, and gas usage. It would display daily, monthly, and yearly usage data to users and compare their efficiency to others. The goal is to educate users on reducing wasteful consumption through a casual, friendly interface.
