core inquiry
How might translating biometric data into felt experiences deepen self-awareness in a culture dominated by external information?
01
flagship research – in progress
Hand-held biomimetic heart that beats in sync with the holder’s heart to research the impact of felt heartbeat on interoception.
02
foundational research precursor – 2017-2023
Consumer wearable that collects continuous ECG data and offers real-time haptic feedback to inform physical activity.
03
early experimentation – in progress
Sculptural wearable that uses responsive diaphragmatic contraction to guide awareness toward belly breathing for active self-regulation.
04
early experimentation – in progress
Self-study that maps heart rate, HRV, and respiration to each posture in a yoga sequence—revealing the potential for biometric data as a tool for training interoception.
