Inflatable Pajama A pajama that changes dreams through haptic feedback

Research Collaboration Collaborated with Dr. Adam Haar Horowitz of the Fluid Interfaces at MIT Media Lab Boston, MA, Aug. 2021 - May 2022

The inflatable pajama is one of the prototypes to incubate and alter dreams in the Dream Hotel museum exhibition. The first phase of the Dream Hotel involved a “daydream night” at MIT Museum Studio, which translate experiments from the sleep neuroscience lab into the artistic context.

Pneumatically Guide Dreams Sleep science has told us the sleeping body is discontinuous with the dreaming body. But this is not so. In fact, while we dream, we feel both our bodies at once. The inflatable pajama is built to exert pressure on specific points of the legs and arms during REM sleep to change dream content.

By providing tactile stimulation to the legs and using Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) and audio stimulation of a thunderstorm, a test subject reported having a dream where she was standing on a damp wooden deck with a beautiful octopus.

(The user test was done by Dr. Horowitz .)

"The octopus would sometimes wrap its tentacle around my leg and nudge up against me. And sometimes I was walking down steps and there was a little bit of water like flowing down the steps as I was walking down them. And at some points I was swimming in the water and the octopus was leading me and I was holding on to the tentacle of the octopus at one point on the deck of the boat. And at some points I was swimming in the water and the octopus was leading me and I was holding on to the tentacle of the octopus at one point on the deck of the boat."

Design Process Designing an inflatable garment is relatively simple, but the challenge lies in delivering a satisfying tactile experience to the user and establishing a desired atmosphere.

Nature is widely regarded as a boundless source of inspiration for designers, offering a diverse array of patterns. The inflatable patterns were inspired from the intricate textures found on the surface of the starfish.

Imagine the sensation of five delicate appendages gently caressing your skin—a moist, slippery, and velvety touch. My goal is to create an immersive ocean experience.

Moreover, by meticulously replicating the grain-by-grain texture, I aim to evoke the sensation of a tiny worm gracefully crawling upon your skin.

The black areas in the three images below represent the heat-sealed portions, while the white areas indicate the inflated and raised sections.

Dream of Butterfly An interactive projection mapping with an AI generated butterfly video

Individual Project Immersive Space Course Work Providence, RI, Oct. 2023 - Dec. 2023

The 'Dream of Butterfly' installation, through the dimensions of visual, auditory, and olfactory senses, blends video of butterflies with the state of the true self, creating a blurred boundary with the purpose of provoking people's reflection on their own existence and consciousness.

Zhuang Zhou's Butterfly Dream We all dream. Dreams are a complex phenomenon that may involve multiple factors including psychological, physiological, cultural, and personal experiences.

They can be meaningless brain activities, as well as reflections of deep psychological states, emotions, desires, or fears.

In the 4th century BC, the ancient Chinese thinker Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had turned into a butterfly. He experienced another life form in a dream, which provoked thoughts about the diversity of life and challenged conventional understandings of the essence of life. Is life limited to our current physical existence, or can it transcend our physical and psychological limits?

Psychologist Sigmund Freud believed that dreams are a manifestation of the subconscious. This leads us to ponder the authenticity of self-awareness: Is our self-awareness stable when we dream? Is self-awareness entirely under our control, or does it sometimes elude our understanding?

Behind The Scene The installation uses video generated by Stable Diffusion, which is projection mapped onto white boards hanging from the ceiling, with a holographic film in between. The use of this film enhances the surreal effect of the installation by diffusing and refracting light.

Additionally, the video doesn't play in the order of frames. Instead, it's controlled by the viewer's position. The video jumps from frame to frame creating an illusion effect. The video comprises Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha channels, which are separated to create a magical, hypnotic scene. As the viewer is attracted by butterflies and gets closer, his/her own image gradually emerges on the screen, evoking an elusive sensation of wanting to touch the illusion but being unable to feel.

When the viewer is immersed in the illusion, the music is played slowly and the scent of lavender, which is calming and sleep-promoting, is released. When the viewer returns to reality, the music plays in a hurry and releases a sobering smell of lemon.

1. Exploration one - Dream Container In this experiment, I focused on a small space-shelf. The video is projected onto white cardboard with a holographic film in between. The use of this film enhances the surreal effect of the installation by diffusing and refracting light. This small size allows the audience to touch the dream directly.

2. Exploration Two - Dream Space In this experiment, I expanded the projection area to reach the entire ceiling. This setting allows the audience to lie on the ground, gaze upward, and engage in a lucid dream while watching a vast array of repeating video matrices that continually transfer from butterflies to the self. This scale can create a stunning sense of immersion.

3. The video of the installation is refracted onto the glass and mixed with reality outside the window.

03 Easleep

A smart wearable for sleep assistance

Intern Project UX Designer Hangzhou, China, Jul. 2021 - Nov. 2021

A product that promotes sleep by utilizing precise EEG data collection, personalized customizations of CES (cranial electrotherapy stimulation), and sleep-inducing sound waves.

It focuses on both the physical and auditory aspects to facilitate the user's transition into a restful state.

Brain-Computer Interface 6

Sleep Analysis Report & B-CBTi Sleep Restoration Program EEG collection & analysis CES Physical Sleep Aid & Dual Rhythm Multi-Sound Waves Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) is a physical method used to aid sleep. It targets the cortical and brainstem structures of the brain and generates low-intensity, minimal weak pulse currents. This stimulation effectively triggers the release of endorphins, which have sedative effects, and reduces cortisol levels, thereby reducing anxiety and relieving stress.

Divcap: Dive into Sleep A Smart Nightcap that Promotes Sleep through the Five Senses

Individual Project Self-Driven Research Zhoushan, China, Dec. 2019 - Mar. 2020

Sleep is closely related to health. Divcap aims to improve sleep quality by shortening the time it takes for users to enter the N1 light sleep stage through real-time EEG data collection and analysis, which determines the timing of sensory stimuli, including auditory and olfactory cues, to create a sensory sleep experience.

Y. Zhu, "Divcap: A Smart Nightcap that Promotes Sleep through the Five Senses," 2020 5th International Conference on Automation, Control and Robotics Engineering (CACRE), Dalian, China, 2020, pp. 744-748, doi: 10.1109/CACRE50138.2020.9230016.

Sensory Sleep The most fascinating aspect of sleep is that it’s highly connected to almost every aspect of our waking lives and everyone’s sleep needs, patterns, and influences are highly individualized.

This matters because it means that the best way to better rest and recovery through sleep science is an awareness of how sleep impacts our moods and feelings and health and how our lives in return - impact the way we sleep.

Auditory Stimuli The regulating effect of music on the nerve excitement and inhibitory function in the brain can improve the patient’s mood and coordinate the patient’s physiological function, thereby promoting the patients to fall asleep. The theory of music therapy of the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine comes from the theory of Yin and Yang and the five elements. Traditional five-element music is mostly played with traditional Chinese musical instruments. Chinese zither ’s sound waves are close to the alpha wave in the human brain and can induce the appearance of alpha waves, which shortens the time for people to enter deep sleep and reduces the excitement of the cerebral cortex.

Olfactory Stimuli Smell has always maintained a certain degree of relationship with one’s mood, feelings and sleep. The smell can enter the body’s circulation, regulate endocrine, and can also stimulate memories and feelings in the brain through the sense of smell, creating a comfortable world, where you can enter dreamland comfortably.

Agarwood, true lavender, rose these three kinds of spices are mixed with 50%, 30%, 20% ratio respectively, and together with a carrier oil and high purity of vodka to produce perfume. The top notes are true lavender, middle notes are agarwood, and the back notes are rose.

The waveforms in the left pictures are the values of Attention and Mediation detected by the TGAM module, ranging from 0-100. (The TGAM Module uses specific algorithms to categorize delta, theta, alpha, sigma, and beta waveforms into two classes: Attention and Meditation.) The red line is Attention and the blue line is Mediation. The X-axis represents time (in milliseconds), while the Y-axis represents the strength of Attention or Meditation.

After the experiment, I compared the four groups of data and found that music can help to enter N1 early 450s and aroma can help to enter N1 early 900s. (However, the scientific validity of this conclusion requires further experimentation and verification.)

05 Scentopia

Explore Spatial Olfaction Computing; Redefine Digital Experiences Through Scent

Individual Project Self-Driven Research Providence, RI, Jul. 2023 - Aug. 2023

Scentopia stands at the intersection of technological innovation and human sensory experience, addressing a key gap in the virtual reality landscape. In an era where immersive digital experiences are becoming increasingly prevalent, Scentopia introduces an entirely new dimension by integrating the sense of smell.

The Sense of Smell

Hypothalamus Prefrontal Cortex

Consider a future where your nose has become as important as your eyes in reading this sentence. The sense of smell can help perceive information when our visual system is busy or unusable.

Olfactory Bulb

Amygdala

Smell has the power to transport us across time and space. The presence of a scent source and its diffusion can be located in space (i.e., scented air volume) even if out of sight. Moreover, it has been shown that scents can convey meaning and complement visual information processing and decision making (e.g., enabling cognitive shortcuts).

Above all, the sense of smell has a unique and robust link to emotions, and may make experiences more memorable.

Harnessing the sensory and expressive capabilities of nature as our interaction devices.

Individual Projects Undergraduate Thesis & Graduate Health Fund Shanghai, China, Oct. 2020 - May 2021 Providence, RI, Oct. 2022 - Jun. 2023

Today, the Internet of Things has become a trend that infers a future in which our lifestyle will be connected to our devices creating an intelligently connected world. Products based on plant interfaces would like to expand on this concept of connection and transfer this into the natural world by leveraging the pervasiveness of sensing technology. Imagine a future surrounded by plants, The symbiotic relationship between humans and plants in ancient times will be a future trend for humanity.

Art: PlantMIDI Exploring The Musical Interface Between Human And Plant Conversations PlantMIDI enables individuals to engage with plants through sound. Attach a sensor to the plant to measure its bioelectrical conductivity, and then convert the data into corresponding sounds, which represent its characteristics. Furthermore, the plant itself functions as capacitive touch interface, allowing users to elicit different sounds by interacting with different leaves. These sounds are subsequently processed via various music synthesis techniques, enabling users to collaborate with plants through the medium of electronic music.

This is not only a controller based on plant interfaces for playing electronic music, but also, by giving plants a voice and the ability to respond and engage with us, it would lead to new forms of entertainment, enhance our lifestyles, and create a new environmental computational platform that can be used for education and entertainment.

Design: PlantLamp Exploring a practical applications: Multi-sensory lamp for emotion regulation PlantLamp is a table lamp that leverages plants as a control interface, enabling basic light operation. By utilizing the plant's leaves as capacitive sensors, users can now activate the lamp and toggle between different lighting modes simply by touching the leaves.

The lamp also incorporates a Heart Rate sensor. When the user's heart rate exceeds the normal range, the lamp emits pulsating light at a frequency reminiscent of breathing, guiding the user to relax. Additionally, the lamp releases fragrances to create an immersive atmosphere, as scents have been found to have a positive impact on emotions and cognitive performance. With the addition of the inherent healing properties of the plant itself, this design lends the lamp to emotional regulation, contributing to the well-being of individuals.

Waste Harmonize Worlds: Brick as Currency (WIP)

RISD Master Thesis Sustainability Design Providence, RI, Sep. 2023 - May 2024

Brick and Clay Tile constitute only 2% of Construction and Demolition Waste in US but their recycling and reuse rate is only 12.2%. In the New England area, where I am located, has a deep history in clay practice: Barrington once produced billions of bricks; Fall River has a large number of mills built with clay bricks, but they are nearing the end of their lifespan. My thesis explores a novel approach to repurpose abandoned clay bricks, transforming them into modular, biomaterial-based products that are beneficial to human.

Material Exploration

In the United States, 600.3 million tons of construction and demolition waste were generated in 2018. Out of this, brick and clay tile accounted for 12.3 million tons.

Although it only makes up 2% of the whole waste, its recycling rate is only 12.2%, which means 10.8 million tons of this were sent to landfills.

By recovering 27 million tons of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, recycling efforts can reduce the expansion of U.S. landfills by about 200 acres, which is equivalent to the size of 1 Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) campuses.

From Atoms to Assemblies After exploring the stabilization of biomaterials, I began considering how to use these materials to design assemblies that are beneficial to people. During the field trip in Barrington, RI, I observed that suburban families had various amenities in their backyards, such as walls for planting, chairs for resting, and storage for outdoor items. This indicates that there is a design opportunity for assemblies intended for outdoor use that can meet people's leisure needs.

The picture below is a LEGO-style module that can be assembled in XYZ dimensions. The module's material is divided into two types: outside is using alginate as its chemical reaction is fast, and inside uses carbon dioxide-absorbing biomaterial receipt. One application scenario is fences for suburban families. Most fences today are made of unsustainable, non-eco-friendly vinyl materials. Using BioBricks not only enhances the user's freedom to assemble various shapes but also enables the absorption of carbon dioxide from the environment.

Yield = one Clay Brick weight ~2kg

Grinding three clay bricks releases ~0.08kg (gas power generation)

09 EmoFirefly

Promoting fairness on social media

Individual Project UI/UX Design Shanghai, China, Aug. 2020 - Oct. 2020

Emofirefly is a plugin for social media such as Twitter and TikTok that categorizes comments.

Through Textual sentiment analysis, comments can be divided into four categories: Annoyed, Gloomy, Neutral, and Cheerful. Users can view the comments they want based on their preferences.

Problem Space

Over the years, the comment function on social media platforms has developed a growing number of ways for people to express their comments and opinions, including text comments, liking, and reposting, as well as the ability to post emojis and images in the comment area. However, these mainstream platforms still lack the ability for people to truly convey their emotional expression. And in the comment area, opinions are not classified, and various comments are mixed together with limited 'sort by' functions. This has allowed astroturfing to become more widespread, which is a negative trend.

The internet gives people the platform to express their opinions and desires in a real sense. However, the problem of "astroturfing" has become increasingly prominent. They obstruct, muddy and even manipulate "internet public opinion", greatly affecting the normal expression of public opinion online, and increasingly arousing the dissatisfaction and hatred of netizens.

Astroturfing:

Creating the impression of public support by paying members of the public to pretend to be supportive.

-- Urban Dictionary

Researchers concluded that girls and women are more relationally attuned and more sensitive to posts not being well-received, comparisons, and lack of online connections.

Improper guidance of public opinion can have negative effects on people's emotions and may also lead to self-harm and other harmful behaviors that impact their well-being and health.

Differentiating comments based on different emotional orientations.

Concept Prototyping and Evaluation I proposed three Assumptions and made a simple interactive prototype. I found three users to show them several new comment functions. In the process of communicating with them, many new ideas emerged.

Assumption 1: Real thoughts about the attitude of people you don’t know (does it matter or not?).

Assumption 2: Would you like to see an emotional change process as an event ferments?

Assumption 3: What does social media lack the most. What features do you want to add?

Bon 22, Business Administrator A rational male with a calm mind Attitude toward comments on social media 1. Whether or not to respond to negative comments depends on his mood.

2. He thinks the majority of people hold moderate opinions.

3. Rarely reports negative comments, and rarely gets angry.

Vision Comments could be classified, but negative comments cannot be blocked, because the world is diverse and speech is free.

Evelyn 28, Entrepreneur A sensitive person with a strong sense of curiosity Attitude toward comments on social media 1. Will avoid negative comments which can affect her emotions. But she is also curious about bad reviews.

2. Will not block or report negative comments, as she thinks this will make her feel more guilty.

Vision Comments could be classified, but negative comments cannot be blocked, because the world is diverse and speech is free.

Jack 25, Engineering A opinionated and self-aware person Attitude toward comments on social media 1. Online comments are exaggerated, and many people are dissatisfied with reality. They express negative opinions on the internet and have no bottom line.

2. Misled by astroturfing in the past, but realizes this and now takes a strong stance.

Vision When people complain, the platforms could recognize the content, publish some of it but cause other parts to be pending subject to moderation.

Twitter-Based Plugin Problem Definition 1. Comments on social networks are unclassified, disorganized, and prone to manipulation by actors commenting in bad faith.

2. People can't express their feelings through comments visually.
