MINDPLAY
An interactive installation for children with ADHD, merging color therapy, rhythm-based music, and cognitive training video games into a game that enhances concentration and sensory. Research indicates that music therapy boosts focus and social skills in ADHD treatment, video games offer innovative ADHD interventions, and color therapy enhances mood and cognition. Targeted physical activities have been found to contribute to therapeutic outcomes.
The need for this project has been underscored by the significant rise in ADHD diagnoses among children from 1997 to 2018.
This design blends functionality and aesthetics, turning the product into a therapeutic tool and stylish home decor.
By leveraging the physical computing knowledge, we integrated Arduino with P5.js, assigning unique sounds to four color samples detected by the color sensor, thus linking visual input to auditory output for an interactive user experience.
