Mood Tech

Innovations that can sense and alter your mood

Implications - Scientists have long been interested in the factors that can change a person's mood, such as colors, sounds and temperature. Now, designers are applying these concepts into innovations that can detect a user's emotions and mood and even alter it. From video game joysticks that can sense feelings to devices that can enhance your mood, these creations center on novelty as well as provide a way to tap into a customer's emotions -- literally.
Trend Themes
1. Emotion-sensing Technologies - Designers are creating innovations that can detect a user's emotions and mood and even alter it.
2. Mood-altering Apps - Happiness apps are becoming prevalent, such as MoodAgent -- an app that can create a playlist depending on how the user is feeling.
3. Body Response Monitoring - Electronic coaches such as the DayBrake Stress Management System are monitoring the body's responses to high-pressure environments and providing relief for strain.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - The advancement of technology is creating opportunities in emotion-sensing, mood-altering, and stress management innovations.
2. Entertainment - Joy-detecting joysticks and biometric controllers could revolutionize in-game experiences through emotion-sensing technologies.
3. Health and Wellness - Mood-improving headsets and body response monitoring devices promote mental health and stress reduction in high-pressure environments.
