Hug Me
Materials: Arduino, NeoPixel ring, Pressure sensors
Hug me is a data souvenir. This project is about remembering hugs, the nurturing position of comfort, compassion, companion and happiness that can express more than words.
A programmed jumper captures hugging events and visualises them on a NeoPixel ring attached on the sleeve. One LED of the ring lights up when a hug happens. Colours and brightness depend on the type of a hug and how hard the hug is.
This small project was hoped to help us notice and relive our interactions with others, those subtleties of life.

Just want to share this video here if you didn’t watch it before.
