The Living Room

Light, sound, and visual imagery are designed to adjust to accommodate end-user comfort and enjoyment.
This proof-of-concept project seeks to determine if affective and physiological regulation in individuals with autism can be promoted through dynamic adjustments in the ambient environment. In short, light, sound, smell, and other sensorial stimuli within a space are designed to adjust to accommodate end-user comfort and enjoyment.
Dr. Matthew Goodwin, James Coleman and JB&B ultimately hopes to employ their technology on a widespread scale, the Living Room installation at Common Senses Festival will enable visitors to explore the technology in its early prototype stages and provide feedback. Users will be able to interact with and shape these ambient environments, manipulating light, sound, and feeling of the installation space. Visitors will get a glimpse into the potential of this technology to shape our spaces in the future.
