ABOUT

A collaboration with Gadget show presenter Jason Bradbury to design products for a particular scenario using technology. My chosen scenario was dating due to it being a massive market at present. Whilst researching into dating I found that current apps and sites for dating were causing problems such as catfish and a large amount of ambiguity in whether the other person is being genuine. I decided to use ECG sensors to help daters determine whether the other person likes them or not in an exciting dating experience. Company & Co recognises the need for a new innovative dating experience which makes feelings obvious. Designed for speed dating in restaurants, the two daters wear sensor bracelets which send heart rate information via Bluetooth to the candle in the middle of the table. The candle change brightness depending on the attraction level between the daters, making it obvious whether there is a connection.
