Aura Pendant was an app that captured emotions and turned them into data to shape an unique jewel printed in noble metals like gold.The user just downloaded the app and went to a calm and quiet place, covered the phone’s camera with their index finger, put on their earplugs and told their love story.

The app captured the emotions in the voice and measured the user’s heart rate through the pulse in their finger. The emotional data collected controlled the behavior of particles (velocity, thickness, attraction, and repulsion) to shape the jewel. At the end of the narrative, the user took their finger off the camera and a unique design appeared in the shape of a Mandala.
