Hi everyone,

I have another EE idea to share: This one is a device that would watch your facial expression gestures--it might float in front you as you walk around, if that is what you as a user select as an option--and try to monitor your emotions, as perceived by the device, and try to play a few musical notes at a time, with different instrument options available to the bot to choose from, to try to put you in a good/calm/relaxed mood. The idea would be, if you are feeling "significantly calmer," you could do a gesture like closing your eyes for 5 seconds, and if you don't like the sounds you're hearing and they're not relaxing you, you could turn the device or just not react.

Another possible option would be a "surprise me" functionality for the bot....the bot might float around in front of you, and you could look at its vertical/horizontal/upward/other movements if you wanted to, and the bot would monitor your facial expressions and try to elicit a feeling of surprise. You could think of it as a "try to not smile" game, perhaps, where the device tries to make you react a certain way while you resist.
