A communication tool that helps express and understand complex emotions and personal experiences by translating them into sound waves.

Resonance’, is a communication tool which fosters connection among users, as it facilitates the expression and comprehension of complex emotions and personal experiences. The physical interface of ‘Resonance’ takes the shape of a table, creating an environment for social interactions which users can intuitively control by touch. The interface translates participants’ emotional cues into sound waves with tones and frequencies corresponding to different emotions. This enables ‘Resonance’ to recreate physical sensations of another person’s emotional states.
The project aims to overcome communication barriers and bridge differences, in order to foster empathy through shared experiences. With the potential for future technological advancements, it seeks to further innovation in emotional communication and understanding, fostering empathy and connection among individuals and contributing to a compassionate and inclusive society.
