Research Topic: Earloop: Enhancing Communication Dynamics with Real-Time Feedback for Healthier Conversations
Research Poster Located in the Neighborhood Engagement Centers
Research Summary:
Tanay's research focused on improving communication dynamics by developing Earloop, a wearable device that provides real-time feedback on non-verbal cues such as head movements, gaze direction, and talk time. Using advanced sensors like the BNO055 IMU and MAX4466 MEMS Microphone, the team collected data, processed signals, and analyzed the device's impact on communication patterns. The findings showed that Earloop could significantly enhance interpersonal interactions by increasing users' awareness of their non-verbal behavior, leading to a more connected and productive work environment.
