Welcome to releaf
An interactive and explorative experience that combines sensors, plants and sounds to create a calm and creative environment
Feel the music

This is Releaf

A project in the M.Sc. program Interaction Design and Technologies at Chalmers in collaboration with Universeum in Gothenburg, with the aim of designing an exhibit to increase young girls' interest in emerging technology. #NyTeknik

Sensors

Releaf is an interactive environment that, with the help of different sensors, aims to show young girls what is possible within the are of new technology. Sensors used are flex sensors, light sensors, tilt ball and accelerometer.

Plants

To show that technology can indeed be both fun, relaxing and innovative, the sensors are integrated into plants, which also provides a calming environment that proves that technology can be implemented into almost anything.

Music

By activating the sensors through touching or bending the leaves of the plants, the user will be able to create music with their friends and contribute to the creative environment that is Releaf.
