Year 3 Project

This project was about looking into the future, predicting what might happen, and then finding a solution. I was given the word “bedroom,” so I had to create something based around that idea.

My persona was someone living in a large dystopian tech city who had become more connected to and invested in a virtual world than the real one. The only thing he still truly loved in reality was his cat, while everything else was slowly slipping away from him, his home, his dream job, and his connection to the physical world.

This innovative product helps people in virtual worlds reconnect with reality by measuring over-stimulation. When your heart rate rises, it blocks your Wi-Fi and locks your devices, while gently closing around you like a comforting hug. The attached earthing mat activates, grounding you to the Earths natural energy, which can reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and restore balance. It’s a long-term solution to promote mindfulness, well-being, and a healthier connection to the real world.
