Emotional Pinocchio, Emocchio
_
BIOFEEDBACK?
Measuring the physiological responses of the body. When we are stimulated by external, our body automatically generate the carrier wave from our brain to our heart, to every cell.
In other words, our body can tell its psychological and physical changes from stimulation through skin temperature, brain wave activity, heart rate and skin conductance, even if we do not say anything about it.
IDEA
To see and Interact with the degree of emotional change reflecting to Emocchio's nose on the screen in the situation that keeping answer the awkward questions. The nose grow as much as the audience feel embarrassed.
We took Pinocchio's nose as a metaphor of emotion detector that could respond promptly to changeable emotion ( for Pinocchio, the lie ) regardless of the audience's will.
HOW IT WORKS
In situations of stress, our skin release more sweat thereby increasing its conductivity. We are measuring this skin conductance with a Galvanic sensor made from Arduino, and determining how stressed the individual is. To induce stress to a user, we tell them that our setup is a lie detector test and then ask questions that will be embarrassed to answer. We then visually represent the sudden increase of stress by increasing the length of the shadow of the user’s nose.
