Shumei was based on Ericsson's 'The Social Web of Things' video. The concept of having a home that can comfort you was tantalizing, so we decided to make our own version
Process
'Shumei' was created on a span of 2 ½ months intermittently.
Tasks
■ As the Product designer, I conceptualized system and drafted diagrams of connections across components.
■ Researched literature on emotional regulation to provide insights to teammates.
■ Coded data analysis and processing tasks using Python APIs.
■ Contributed to writing documentation and created final presentation.

Speed bumps
▼ Spotify API was only available to use for our purpose if we purchase a subscription.
Solution: My team and I decided to use MP3's we had in our hard drives to test our prototype, as we were only planning to show a concept and not deploy it in a real scenario.

The Goods
Proposal during brainstorming session at the "Internet of Things & Media Services" course
Depiction of basic architecture during the initial phase.
Results
Our professor selected our project as the example to use for the next edition of the IoT course. The concept was implemented successfully and it can easily be deployed by anyone with a Raspberry Pi, since the code was made available as Open Source. A technical report of the development can be found here.
