starburst

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining mental health is crucial, and dancing offers a joyful way to boost well-being by reducing stress and increasing happiness. However, many feel self-conscious dancing at social gatherings.

Starburst is a device designed to help shy people feel more comfortable dancing. It emphasises that having fun and being silly with friends is what truly matters. The device recognises three playful dance moves and encourages users to try them, providing visual feedback through light and color when performed correctly. It also detects when users are standing idle and signals with party lights that it's time to start dancing and having fun. By the end of the night, users can't help but burst out dancing, feeling like true stars.

Machine Learning is getting more prominent every single day. I learned that using it as a means to an end to build a connection between the user and the device is key to creating a meaningful experience.
