MoodLight

2016/Wearable Tech/Mobile App/

MoodLight is a prototype wearable + mobile app that expresses the user's current mood. You have three selections: happy, sad, and angry. Although limited, the project's main goal is to encourage the user be more willing to express their mood in a honest and explicit manner. In an age where emotional health and communication are becoming increasingly important, this project aims to assist those efforts.

There are two parts to this, one part is an 8x8 superbright LED matrix controlled by a rainbowduino which communicates with a mobile app via a BLE module. The mobile app was made using PhoneGap Cordova. The app is just a single HTML/CSS webpage using some javascript to send signals to the bluetooth module to control the LED display.
