Part 1: project profile

Project name

Wireless Affective Devices

Project short description

The project is aimed at developing wireless affective devices that are able to acquire biological signals (such as GSR, BVP, Temperature and Head orientation) in a way that is less invasive for the subject.

Students that have worked on the project

  • Mattia Colombo (Blood Volume Pressure sensor)
  • Alessia Cornaggia (Galvanic skin response sensor)
  • Sala Mirko (Galvanic skin response sensor)

Laboratory work and risk analysis

Laboratory work for this project will be mainly performed at AIRLab/Lambrate. It will include electrical and electronic activity. Potentially risky activities are the following:

  • Use of mechanical tools. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
  • Use of soldering iron. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.

Part 2: project description

The project is aimed at developing wireless affective devices that are able to acquire biological signals (such as GSR, BVP, Temperature and Head orientation) in a way that is less invasive for the subject. The term invasive is related to how much the sensors we use compromise the normal interaction.

An affective device should be weared easily, should not have cables and should acquire as much sensors as possible. It is composed by:

  • Blood Volume pressure
  • Skin galvanic response
  • Temperature
  • Accelerometer
  • Gyroscope
  • Wireless comunication with a PC
  • Low power, high efficiency, battery power section
