Sensory

Shannon McLain

The objective of the project is to understand how targeted sensory applications, either in everyday life or a moment, shape health, well being, and comfort?
It hypothesized that people feel more comfortable with a variation of sensorial engagement of natural materials, people can focus better, feel less anxious, improve levels of happiness, long term and short term benefits listed above, and different people will react differently to various levels of stimulus. The information documented on sensory rooms is focused on what concepts to use, but little research has been conducted to understand how people react to specific objects.
Design research is currently rather addressing broad categories.
