StageMemo


This is a hand-worn device designed for use in theaters, aimed at enhancing and enriching the audience's experience during performances while recording their real-time emotions and feedback. By measuring the audience's physiological data, it estimates emotional reactions to the performance, and through gestures, collects real-time comments from the audience.

Inspiration

In my experiences of watching plays, there are always moments when I regret not being able to record the instant I am moved to awe, because I know that each performance is unique. I want to forever remember that moment and the unique feelings it brings me. When I leave the theater, my mind often feels empty, or my memory is blurred, leaving me with a sense of wistful loss.Background


QuestionnaireThis is a questionnaire survey based on the audience's theater experience. A total of 252 people participated, covering 23 provinces in China. The main purpose is to survey the needs of audiences during the theater experience.


Persona“ Watching a play in the theater is an enjoyable yet solitary experience. I wish to resonate with fellow enthusiasts during the performance. ”

Prototype TestingUse 3D-print pen and sensors to build a prototype.



The DFRobot Gravity heart rate sensor is a sensor module based on the principle of PPG, primarily used for detecting heart rate. It monitors blood flow fluctuations by detecting changes in the intensity of reflected light through an LED light source and a photodiode.
The rotary potentiometer simulates a rotating ring, offering high sensitivity, a wide adjustment range, and supports 360-degree rotation.


The DFRobot Gravity waterproof temperature sensor has high durability and stability, allowing it to continuously monitor human body temperature over extended periods while providing consistent and reliable data.
GSR sensors measure changes in skin conductivity by detecting micro-sweat variations on the skin surface, making them a non-invasive biosignal detection technology. They support real-time monitoring and are suitable for continuous tracking of emotional states.


The resistive thin-film pressure sensor can accurately detect very small pressure changes and conform to various irregular surfaces.

Reflection

 During the production process, my prototype testing ability was enhanced. From the initial idea to a clear and specific goal, it is a process that requires continuous trial and error and iteration. Throughout this process, the appearance and functionality were further refined.

Additionally, I found that my abilities in technical research and market research have improved. In terms of appearance and materials, I collected and summarized information on wristbands from the market as a reference. For the emotion recognition algorithm, I read a large number of academic papers. Ultimately, I was able to make innovations based on existing mature technologies.

Moreover, this project taught me how to pay attention to user feedback and focus on designing for the user’s experience and comfort. Additionally, by using a 3D printing pen to print the model, my hands-on skills were greatly enhanced.
