This modules project is about having a study environment that motivates you to take breaks and relax, before returning
to your work. We used several segments to help relax in a stressful situation.
To check if someone is stressed, we use
a heart rate sensor. When there is a change in heart rate, the computer knows that you are stressed. This will set of a
trigger to start playing an animation of a yoga or tai chi movement. This would relax you with the help of music and certain
colors of light. To make sure you are doing the movements correctly and become relaxed, your heart rate is still checked
and your movement is tracked with the help of a kinect.
With help of brought research on all sorts of parts of the
project, we made our final prototype.
