ThinkPod Installation - ThinkTank Museum

An Immersive Experience at ThinkTank Birmingham Science Museum: Thinkpod consists of four installations designed to stimulate different emotions through various sensory triggers. Each pod allows visitors to explore their emotional responses and view their biometric data compared to scientific understandings via an interactive application. The goal of this experience is to educate visitors on how their senses can influence their emotions. By providing real-time evidence of their own biometric responses, Thinkpod helps users understand the connection between sensory input and emotional well-being.

Environment Consideration: The "How Our Brain and Senses Work?" installation at the museum provided informative text about sensory functions but missed the opportunity to fully engage visitors' senses. I chose to place Thinkpod in this environment to address this gap by creating an immersive experience that actively stimulates and explores sensory functions, allowing visitors to directly experience and understand the connection between their senses and emotions.

Audience Consideration: City Sophisticates are young professionals aged 25-44 who enjoy a vibrant city lifestyle with ample opportunities for socializing and spending. With no children at this stage in life, they are focused on personal interests and experiences.
