BioMirror

Biofeedback, like a mirror, enables individuals to see inside their body and improve self-regulation on their physiology to a healthy direction. However, for a long time, Biofeedback is considered only within the context of clinical settings. In this project, we aim to bridge the gap between biofeedback technique and its application in daily life. BioMirror is a set of interactive surfaces that respond to users’ heartbeats, respiration and autonomic nervous system activities. As a traditional mirror reflects one’s outside appearance, BioMirror reflects human internal bodily processes. The surface is complex paper-based structure with repetitive incisions created by laser cutting. the rear serves as a medium to transform force from servomotors, vibration motors or fans into an action, stimulating the patterns on the surface to vibrate, swing, bulge or rotate to display physiological information in dynamic physical form.
