Summary

This project is part of the master course Multisensory design, which focuses on how stimulating multiple senses can greatly improve a design. The assignment for this course was to design a ritual supported by a product to improve savoring by focusing on one or more senses other than merely visual stimuli. The result of the assignment is a wearable device that helps you to savor special events by means of the memory building strategy. The product allows the user to pick a certain scent for an event and diffuses this scent during the event. In this way, the user links the scent to the experience of the event. After the event has passed, the user can recall the scent (for example when looking back at the photo's of the event) to enhance the recollection of the memory and thus helps savoring the event.
