HEKA

As an intelligent agent, Heka is an empathic, smart personal assistant that aims to improve productivity by keeping track of stress patterns and helps students to prioritize their mental well-being. It does so by guided breathing and distractive exercises. The stress detection is done by a heatmap of temperature on user’s face.

As our demonstrator we created a prototype of the movement patterns and interactivity that it would possess.

Responsibilities:

During this first design project I was introduced to a myriad of different design and research methodologies which we were able to try out during the course of the project. The experience gathered from it was eventually turned into a template used for the projects later on.
