Design Brief

Motivating Physical Activity Through Interactive Design

An interactive public installation at TU/e campus that visualizes step count data through light and touch, encouraging physical activity in shared spaces. The design transforms fitness tracking into a playful, social experience using soft interaction and tangible feedback.

My role: Led the development of the soft button using 4D Textiles and pressure sensors, combining material exploration, Arduino, and Python. This project strengthened my iterative prototyping skills and taught me how to navigate team dynamics by aligning technical and creative strengths.
