Breeze: Sharing Biofeedback Through Wearable Technologies
summary
Built a neck-worn device called Breeze pendant that measures breathing with an inertial measurement unit and streams live biofeedback. Tests with about 21 participants compare visual, audio, haptic outputs and show most people intentionally mimic displayed breathing to infer emotion. Result summaries report that breathing pattern features (rate, depth, inhalation/exhalation timing) shape perceived valence and dominance, and that feedback modality shifts interpretation and privacy tradeoffs in interpersonal use.
