Between 2018 and 2019, I built The End of Emotional Privacy, my Master's thesis at IAAC exploring how empathy could be felt physically.
I designed a bodysuit that translates emotions into real-time heat, using infrared sensors to read body temperature and heat pads built from conductive thread, so happiness, sadness, anxiety, and fear could be physically felt on the wearer's back. I paired it with a live p5.js visualization so people could see the detected emotional state as well as feel it.
It was selected for Global Grad Show in Dubai, later exhibited at the Design Museum of Barcelona, and covered by El País and TV3.
